Recording Problems?

Hi all,

I've done a few searches on the forum and can't find anything so I was wondering if anyone else was having these problems:

1) Every now and then a program will not record correctly. I will watch a recording and all of a sudden, say 15 mins into a 30 min recording, the playback will jump to the very end, with no way of me viewing the last X minutes.

2) My box will record planned series fine, but if I'm in the TV guide and hit the record button over an entry, it will fail to record it. I can go back and hit the record button again but a message pops up asking me if I really want to cancel the recording. Even hitting yes seems to do nothing (the item in the TV guide is still highlighted in red). There are *NO* recording clashes when this happens.

This is getting rather annoying and seemed to happen after doing a reset when the TV guide was blank for a few days. I could try another reset, but I'm concerned that I make things worse.

Any ideas?

I had the same problem with pressing record on my V+ whilst in the guide or in the mini guide. The selection would turn red but it never recorded. Sometimes
I would reboot the box and then it would work fine, but you weren't able to rely on it working each time. Like you, my box thought it was recording because if you pressed the record button again it would ask if you wanted to cancel the recording, I never had the other problem you experienced though. I rang VM and they said they would format the disc but I said that I had already done that to no avail and they then agreed that one of the TV tuners must be faulty and replaced the box. So far so good, seems to be working fine now.

Thatks for that; I'll give them a call.
