When the BBC4HD retunes first started, I recall an instance when I knew I had a program set for series record and it was shown as set in the schedule but was not shown as set on the epg. When I tried to set the recording again I was told there was a conflict. When I scrolled to the end of the channels list BBC4HD was there in the high 790’s (iirc). Deleting this allowed me to reset the recording but this ended up with the series recorded as two separate entries in the recordings list. So I wonder, had I left things as they were, would my box have tried to record something that wasn’t there?

It was set to series record and got some Masterchef nonsense instead.Quote:The reason you didn’t get Room 101 last week was that the One Show was extended to an hour and therefore Masterchef was 30 minutes late starting and they postponed the Room 101 episode.

So “the beast from the east” affected more than just the roads then, lol.
As it happened on both boxes must be a broadcaster issue. Was the programme actually transmitted ?
I did ask the freeview help on Twitter and they said they ‘believed ‘ it was broadcast as it was listed in several guides, but I am not so sure. I still get the broken recording symbol with various yellow text explanations about not being broadcast or power failure. They are usual ok once played

I’d check for the programme on iplayer.
If it’s in eco mode I’d switch it over to normal as eco mode has always been at the bottom of quite a lot of the previous humax gremlins.

All of my Humax boxes have always used low power sby. I can’t recollect a single issue related to this.

Ditto, currently 10 units (freesat and freeview) connected all in low power sby.
I may be wrong, but I always assumed the broken recording icon appeared with power loss or crash, but also when I have too many shows recording. I have padding on front and end of each recording and so there can be quite an overlap. If I’m recording a couple of shows back to back I can easily exceed the 4 recordings limit. As the new recording waits for a recorder to become free it hasn’t recorded the whole show as requested or if a show is truncated early, in this case it displays the icon The show is still there but may be missing the first bit or last bit of the recording.

I have loads when there was only 1 or 2 recordings. No actual programme content is missing.

Generally speaking using padding causes more problems than it solves. However at the moment BBC seem to have an ongoing problem with accurate recording so now probably isn’t the time to start experimenting.
I’ve noticed a big improvement with accurate record since the closing ceremony of the winter Olympics – I smell a rat.

I get the broken recording icon and I don’t have padding recording on so I don’t think it is that. I seem to get quite a lot on BBC4 which often play ok.
