A few times lately whilst I’ve been watching something that I’ve recorded the screen goes black. Tonight I left it to see what happened and it went back to programme screen. I then went back to recording to watch the remainder.
No idea but it has happened to me a few times as well. 😳
Basically it’s so infrequent and without being able to replicate the conditions it’s going to be very hard to track down the exact conditions that cause the issue. Basically too many variables eg (Channel watched and recording schedule), and as nothing is actually lost it’s not exactly a deal breaker.
You are definitely not alone it happens to us also on our 1000S about once a week. As Graham says there are many variables but it does usually happen when there is another recording in progress.
We have come to the conclusion just to leave it to sort itself out and then find and continue the program from recordings as it usually remembers where it was.
It can be pretty frustrating though when it happens in the middle of some tense police drama or film and we are surprised that all the diagnostic data the box is supposed to gather can’t narrow this down for a fix.
