    I have now gone into: Settings > Manual Search for the info and they read between 78% and 82% for Strength and 100% on every one for quality. I assume this is not too high on strength.

    They sound fine. Which transmitter are you tuned to and how far from the transmitter are you?

    I am on the Sheffield transmitter and about 5 miles from it in Grenoside. A transmitter mapping coverage places me in a ‘Green’ high signal area. My installer has suggested that we turn the aerial towards the Belmont transmitter, some houses in our road have done this. However it will mean mounting the aerial on a gable, something that will spoil the appearance of the house. I’d rather suffer occassional pixellation than ruin the line of the house.

    I keep getting the ‘Recording failed’ message and the ‘flash’ logo on my HD recordings. This is happening infrequently

    Have you tried to play these and were they OK to play?

    I get that occasionally and they still play fine.

    Usually caused by a preceeding recording overrunning into the start of the second recording where the same tuner is required to make the second. ITV are the main offender as they often extend the AR stop recording into the ads after the actual programme has completed.

    This usually only chops a few seconds off the start of the second one and very often loses no actual programme content at all.

    That may be your ‘usual’ cause on your HDR-2000T but it is NOT mine. Mine is due to sometimes using a marginally indequate aerial system.

    I don’t have a HDR-2000T. I have two HDR FOX T2’s. Do your failed recordings work normally as the post I responded to, without pixellation and/or freezing ? If they do not it’s hardly relevant.
