    I’ve noticed recently that my Foxsat no longer shows the Channel name on recordings. For example if I recorded BBC1-HD, the programme in the media list would show up as CH106 instead of 106 BBC1-HD.

    It’s rather annoying me now and even a factory reset hasn’t fixed it.

    Anyone got any clues?

    Very strange – recording names are fine on mine with same software. Do you let housekeeping run every night ?

    I notice this happening occasionally on an active recording but it sorts itself out when the recording completes.

    Yes, nothing stopping housekeeping afaik.

    Clutching at straws, if you export a file to usb what is the filename of the .ts file ? Do you have the Custom Firmware installed which has more sophisticated hard disk linux based disk operating system check and repair options built in ?

    I installed the custom firmware and ran the fixdisk utility. After wards the foxsat wouldn’t let me go on until I had formatted the disk so I lost all the recordings.

    Luckily its only a secondary machine so nothing too essential lost, but after recording MOTD last night it still only shows the recording as CH 106. 🙄

    I suggest you try a freesat tune.

    Check the signal on (from memory) channel 999 which needs good quality before you do the tune.

    Done a Freesat retune and things are sort of working again. Getting proper channel names on some recordings, but others are still showing only the channel number.

    All a bit odd, but will just see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestions.
