If it’s caused by disc corruption in the buffer then your only option would be a format.

thanks, but how do I know if it’s caused by disc corruption?

Unless you use a different name on DS then at least one other has the issue

By not being able to pause or rewind live tv

I don’t know if this would work at all, but you could try pressing record while watching live tv, let it record for a few mins and then delete it.

Hi Gonzo,

Thanks I was able to record whilst watching live TV, watch and then delete.do you still think there is disc corruption? ( too be honest I have no idea what that is)

Thanks again

It seems you have 3 choices, 1) just put up with it and live in hope it will sort itself out, 2) watch as much recordings as possible and then format, 3) grab the bull by the horns and just format.

When you unplugged from mains, how long was it before you plugged back in again?

I had this problem a while ago, the only fix was to format .

oh bu**er, I have heaps of recordings. Will I lose the ones I have already saved (kept)?

When I switched off I left it for half an hour just to make sure

Watch a live programmer for say 15mins after it started and then push the record button. How long is the recording in your recordings list ?

Hi Graham,

Thanks I’ve just tried this and now I notice that the recordings are only picking up from the time I pressed record rather that the whole show, even though I watched it from the start but recorded part way through. Any other advice?

Thanks

corrupt buffer for sure – only solution is to reformat and yes you will loose recordings.

I had that exact problem over Xmas and tried a Disk Clean and Factory Reset, neither fixed it. I resigned myself to doing a Disk Format and losing all my recordings. However, I left it for later and very strangely the problem went away by itself. No idea why.

Hi Pollensa, How long did the issue last? This has been since Thursady 09 Jan, so only a couple of days.

Thanks

I guess maybe 3 or 4 days.
