Failed Recordings - deltic - 03-11-2010 10:07 I've recently been setting my recorder to start at 03.04 after a spate of failed recordings when set to 03.00. Was reliable for a while but just found it failed to record last night and also on the 1st. Poor reception? Late start? Any suggestions? RE: Last night's freeview show - NHawk - 03-11-2010 11:53 You can check reception by trying other channels broadcast on the same Mux... ITV3, Channel One, QVC etc. Are they fine? RE: Last night's freeview show - deltic - 03-11-2010 19:06 Other channels seem fine, seems to be something to do with there being no signal before 0300. Odd though that recorder shows 1 minute of recording whenever it fails. Assumed it was because the transmission started late but cant see it being 4 or 5 minutes. Will try another recorder for a few nights and see if it has the same problem. Very annoying,good job some people are still posting recordings!

One of my recorders needs the time setting to 1 minute after the EPG start time for some of the babeshows, or the recording often fails. I only see this problem with babeshows, not normal programs. My other recorders are ok just to use the normal EPG times for all programs. RE: Last night's freeview show - deltic - 08-11-2010 15:58 (04-11-2010 10:55 )TheWatcher Wrote:Got the same set up. One recorder has no problem at all, other two need setting at least a minute into the babeshows. Bangbabes though needs 3 or 4 minutes in general. Seems some recorders need to see a signal when they power up before they start recording,hence no problem recording channels that broadcast 24 hours.(03-11-2010 19:06 )deltic Wrote: Other channels seem fine, seems to be something to do with there being no signal before 0300.

Pain in the arse because normally fails when its a good show! RE: Failed Recordings - Jam Da Man - 10-11-2010 18:39 My recorder is usually okay with times, although when I set it for recording 2 channels at midnight it would occasionally crash so I set for 1 channel to begin 1 minute later. A couple of things I've found with previous freeview boxes and my current recorder - Put it on standby for 5-10 mins EVERYDAY. Sometimes it needs to shutdown to organise it's memory, or something. When I got my recorder last year I left it on for 2 weeks, and then it wouldn't record anything I set it for, until I turned it off. Then after another week again it wouldn't record, 'til I put it on standby. Since then I turn it off for a bit when it's not in use. Don't leave it on a BBC channel. If you want to watch a programme on one of those then record it, rather than watch it live. Something to do with the Red Button causes BBC channels to crash freeview boxes. |
