Over the past week, we’ve noticed a lot of our recordings listed with the “broken recording” icon. Prior to that, they always showed an image from the first frame of the recording.

All the “failed” recordings play back correctly, but they start with a message in yellow at the top of the screen saying that the recording has failed for some reason or other. So far, it’s reported “no signal”, “power failure” and “no programme broadcast at that time”. I’m prepared to accept a signal glitch, but the other reasons seem somewhat random.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Could it be a coincidence that there’s been a software update this week? I know our software has updated because of the HDD stats at the top right-hand corner of the recordings screen and the addition of the “Recent” category (whatever that is).

(I’m sorry the update didn’t address the silly issue of playback defaulting to the newest programme in the series.)
