My FVP4000t has started missing off the beginning of recordings. Can be by as much as 5 minutes! The recording options in PVR settings is greyed our so cant check anything there. Any ideas please as it’s very annoying.
The recording options are greyed out because the box is recording or about to start recording.
What settings do you have for start and end recording (check when any existing recordings are completed). Which channels are causing the problem ?
Suspect you have set padding times, which are extending the end of recordings beyond the actual start time of the next recording.
The best option for the main channels is auto for both start and end.
Thank you I will check when recording has finished. Current recording is BBC & started on time. Missing ones were on ITV. I haven’t changed any settings at all, it’s just started doing this if it’s own accord!

What programmes were set and were they HD or SD at the time as the problem.
Without more detail it’s hard for members to comment. You should try and provide details of what you had set to record at around the time (channel, programme, scheduled time and date) for all channels when the problem occurred.
Basically the box preserves the end of a recording at the expense of the beginning of the next (which is the sensible option). Without any knowledge of what recordings were set at the the FVP-4000T with 3 tuners could cope with most recording clashes but not all.
Can you check if you have programmes in your epg with channel numbers over 800 and post if you have ?
My FOXSAT-HDR has started doing exactly the same thing! 😡
The other main channels seem to be ok but recording (set on auto) on ITV HD/ITV 2&3, it’s like either the starting signal is not being sent or my FOXSAT-HDR isn’t picking it up as it works fine on the other channels. It just starts recording at exactly the time it says on the EPG even though the soap may start or finish at a different time.
I haven’t altered any settings but I’m constantly losing the first 5 minutes or so of Coronation Street so end up having to catch-up on either ITV 2/3 at the weekends! It’s extremely annoying! 👿
No recordings are being done either side of recording Coronation Street so that isn’t the problem. It just seems that the starting signal is not being sent or not being picked up. Other channels seem to be ok.

You have posted the question in the wrong section of the Forum; this is the section for Freeview FVP-4000T/FVP-5000T.
Admin Edit: As this thread is now covering both freeview and freesat have moved to broadcast forum.
Mine was just on itv as well. And yes was very irritating- I’d have to watch first 5 minutes on iPlayer!) I cancelled all the recordings and set them up again which seemed to solve the problem

Ah, I’m sorry about that, I was going by the subject title of the initial post rather than the forum title. I actually came here directly from a Google search so assumed that we were talking about the subject rather than the specific model of device.

I actually already reset the timer recordings but it didn’t appear to work for me. 😡 I really can’t understand why it does it for only ITV (ITV HD, ITV+1, ITV 2, ITV 3 & ITV 4.) but I’ll give it another go again and see what happens.
No it’s bizarre only on ITV & it just started doing it out of the blue, I hadn’t changed any settings. Even though it’s a different box surely the problem must be related. Good luck

ITV HD appears to have reverted to schedule times rather than when the actual content starts. For about a week it’s chopped the beginning off Emmerdale at 19:00. Guessing it’s a issue at ITV.
I’ve sent an email to ITV, may be they can say what’s happened.

I have a Youview+ box which records the 6 weekly prime Emmerdale ITV HD episodes. They don’t get watched, but I just checked and over the last two weeks all twelve started OK, with all twelve starting as would be expected with AR. Tuesday 23rd was particularly notable as it had the earliest start compared to the schedule but like all the others it was recorded in its entirety.
When Five started rolling out AR it was stagared with different transmiters implementing AR for Five over a number of weeks. This means that the AR supply to transmiters can be transmitter dependant.
The transmitter which worked fine for my box’s recordings was Sudbury.
Well, I eventually had a reply from those at ITV. Apparently they changed the system last December. Unfortunately though, even after doing as they said, I still can’t get things back the way they were!
Here’s their reply:

Thank you for your recent email regarding Coronation Street.
I can confirm that in December ITV changed the system which sets up the series recording links. I recommend that you remove that and set up new series recording(s) of Coronation Street and hopefully you will find this is now correct.
