V6 stops recording after reboot.
I've noticed that if the V6 is interrupted because of a reboot whilst recording programmes, that it doesn't pick them up again for the remaining duration.
The last couple of times I've had to set any recordings again manually; maybe it would have eventually done so, but I don't want to risk it.
Anybody else noticed this happening?

I think if you set your recordings to include streaming, you may not lose that programme.

Re: V6 stops recording after reboot.
How often does your V6 reboot during recordings? .... is the real question here!
Only once for me in 10 months.

Re: V6 stops recording after reboot.
I think it is useful to reboot at 7-14 day intervals, to make sure it is relatively free of problems. That way, you can choose the time of the re-booting in many cases (not for updates, though).

It very rarely does it automatically, but I occasionally have to do it manually as it stops working properly. It starts with a short burst of white audio noise and then the box won't carry out commands correctly; also anything recording becomes pixelated after this point.
I think it's down to a compatibility problem with my Samsung TV, but I don't want to go through the hassle of swapping the box again. Also, as OB says, it probably does it good to have a reboot now and then.
Sometimes in can happen twice in one day, other times it can be ok for weeks on end!
It's only a real problem if it interrupts any recordings, but I can usually look for a repeat showing to re-record or watch the bit I've missed via VOD.
