    Hello, I live in France and have had my box (HDR 1010 S) for a long time. All of a sudden it has stopped recording correctly: many programmed shows are stopped after 30 mins, others don’t record at all. I’ve noticed channel 4 is the worst, BBC 1 seems ok, but not BBC 2 or 4: and its hit and miss. It doesn’t record all the show either if I press instant record, although If I leave it on the channel, it seems OK – but not very useful!!

    After reading the forums I went in Settings and did Factory default – didn’t make any difference at all. I am happy to lose existing recordings if I can get this fixed. Please help – but don’t go into tech details as I won’t understand!!

    Thanks

    Where in France are you and what size dish do you have?

    When you did the factory default how many LNB connections did it show? If you ddi not notice go into settings signal and look at the foot of the page.

    Do you received BBC1 HD and BBC 2 HD OK?

    Hello, I’m 25km from Paris. Ive had the dish 15yrs with no problems. Sorry i can’t tell you its size – it’s small, looks about 50-60 cm from down below? Yes I can get HD channels ok. I have no problem with any channels changing,it’s just the recording. The only thing I can see under settings for the signal is “signal info” which shows 2 two tuners with good strength and quality but has no more information at the bottom of the page as you mentioned than that. Thanks

    All I have under General Settings is: power on timer/power off timer/parental control /preferred language /accessibility

    Under Settings – recordings, it just takes me to the list of current recordings

    Thanks

    Are you sure you have a second generation Freesat+ smart box. This is my HDR-1000S which has the same software as your HDR-1010S.

    The label should have a model number.

    The 2nd generation Freesat+ smart boxes have the following model Numbers HDR-1000s, HDR-1010S and HDR-1100S. All of these have the menu shown above. The remote control photo is attached.

    The alternative is the much older Foxsat-HDR. If you have this the remote is likely to say Humax-F01

    If you have this model the ley sequence will be a bit different.

    Without knowing which box you have hard to help.

    Hi, I have now found the recordings setting, see attached photo- it seems to be set the same as yours? I've also photographed the label. The problem actually seems to be getting worse, it is rarely recording programmed things!

    Hope you can help

    I give up, I can’t get my photo of the Recordings screen to upload, but the settings are all identical to those in your one.

    I give up, I can’t get my photo of the Recordings screen to upload, but the settings are all identical to those in your one.

    Most likely the photo is too large. Windows can resize photos – Google it.

    Switch to a new channel. Watch it for say 5 mins. Then press the red R button above search. Now look at your recording list. You should see a recording of the current channel in progress. You can watch this recording as it takes place.

    To set a recording from the guide. Follow this example.

    Press guide and enter 106 to move the guide to show BBC-HD. Press right to get to 11:00 With Murder Mystery and My Family highlighted in Green. Press the button in the middle of the chrome circle. A popup menu with Record highlighted in Green should appear. Press the middle button again. There are two options. Press the button again with REcord entire series highlighted. It should now g back to the guide with a read record flag on this programme. Press the Double right button above List to advance the epg 24 hrs. Note the same programme is also set to record Tomorrow.

    Exit from the guide.

    Press the Home button and select Recordings pressing the middle button again. Move to planned you should see the one series recording you have set.

    Post if todays episode is recorded. If not it’s possible that your hard disk file system is corrupted. If so you will need to format your hard disk which will delete all your existing recordings.

    Post what happens. Hopefully it will record the programme you have set.
