NeilD – 45 minutes ago »
Over the past year we have had numerous recordings that have prematurely terminated at 43 minutes, none at any other time.
Ok that is interesting. Have you checked that the box is correctly tuned to a single transmitter?
This would represent some hexadecimal or binary number within the software to terminate a recording if an end time is not known.
But nobody else is reporting this number so I think the problem is with something specific to your installation rather than a general problem.
Why do you believe it wouldn’t know the end time?
A prudent inclusion in the software as, otherwise, the recording could go on forever, filling the hard drive and deleting all other recordings if MENU – Settings – Preferences – Recording – Auto Delete is activated.
I believe there is a provision in the software to catch run away recordings but my tired old brain can’t recollect the details; maybe someone else can?
You do not suggest an alternative explanation and I cannot think of any other logical explanation for premature termination of recording at a consistent fixed time so ‘must’ is the correct word.
I think the problem is local to your box and and ‘must’ is certainly not the correct word.

If the EIT p/f ‘present’ event for the next programme is not seen by the Humax for 2 hours after the 7 day EIT’s end time for the recording programme then the recording should terminate.
NeilD – 18 hours ago » It was only when viewing the recordings for a 10 episode series we started recording before going on holiday which continued after we got back that it was obvious the 43 minute recording were only whilst we were away, either side of our holiday we had the full 60 minute recordings.
How many days into your holiday has the earlist 43 minutes recording occurred?

Are you really suggesting the software has a Volkswagen type Defeat piece of software to identify that the unit has not been switched on for 7 days so we must be on holiday and it will only record for 43 minutes to upset us?
No you are!
Do you not recognise a tongue in cheek post when you read one?
My thanks to grahamlthomson for his knowledge in identifying the likely cause of the problem and suggesting a solution.
Further discussion will not add to the fund of knowledge so I declare this topic closed.
