We had TV Drive box installed 23/12/06 and at first found it amazing. I've had few problems recording factual progs (possibly due to timeslots) but wife recons that most of the soaps she has 'taped' have missed the last few minutes (when the dramatics take place ). I had thought setting recordings using the EPG meant that it would record actual timeslot ( like if prog running 5 mins late ) but seems to record displayed timeslot e.g. 7:30 to 8:00 .
The 'Settings' can be altered to add up to 5 mins to end but not much use if recording consecutive prog on different channels.

Other prob just discovered was, after watching 1 hr 18 mins of a movie (which indicated it had a recording length of 2 hrs 15 mins ), the film froze.

Anyone had this?

VOD not yet available in Glasgow area but promised next week.
