Re: Housekeeping causes recording failures?

Checked upstairs box this managed more but only 13 mins odd!

I think the downstairs box did a housekeeping check just after 2:30, surely it shouldn't do this when the box is recording?

Checked other recordings on at this time - all have been chopped around 2:32.

If this is as expected how do I force this housekeeping to happen at say 3:00am when nothing is recording?

To say I am not happy is an understatement!

No, there wasn't a power problem - sky box on same extension performed flawlessly through this period.

Any help would be appreciated.

Having checked later recordings, it would appear there was some sort of problem which prevented recordings between 14:32 and approx 21:45/22:00 ish.

Can anyone confirm this was the case?

Why has this happened?

Why is the service so flaky?

Have I made a big mistake switching from sky?
Was the box in standby during the periods it didn't record? If so, it could be the bug whereby the device doesn't record whilst in Standby. It wastes power, but I now leave mine on 24/7.

I haven't yet been able to test if the latest software update has resolved this or not.
