When I record anything longer than an hour, the recording is split into two sections which have to be viewed separately.
I(s this normal?
Is my box faulty?

It is not for anything over 1 hr. It’s for content that the broadcaster splits into two with a short news break between.
It’s normal for a split event. Sometimes the broadcaster transmits part 1 and part 2 seperated by say a short news bulletin. CH5-HD have a lot Xmas movies on that do this at the moment.
Look at A Very Nutty Christmas CH5-HD 12:35-13:35 and set a recording reservation. Look at the epg you also get one for the second half at 13:40-14:25
The next movie is similar, as is the one after, and the one after that.
This happens even when there is no apparent break.

Please could you give an example of a recording that behaves in the way you describe? It isn’t normal for anything over an hour long to be split into two parts but if the broadcaster has transmitted it as a split recording then yes it will be two parts if using accurate recording. I think you could get it as one recording by manually setting the recording to span both parts.
An example would be – 6 days 7 nights – on sony movies at 16.55
but inusually – the spider and the fly – on talking pictures at 15.30 recorded as one 2 hr
Both last night by the way!
Six Days…..was a split programme, first part 16:55 – 17:50, second part 17:55 – 19:00 can only guess that the split crid coding was missing.
The Spider and the Fly was a 2 hour broadcast with no split.
Have set a few timers on Sony Movies on a 5000T for today to check.
For information: If you are using the EPG to schedule your recordings you will see at the bottom of the screen an area which tells you about the highlighted programme. If there is a two-tone green rectangle (reminds me of a jigsaw piece) then that is a split programme. You will also find the Humax is wrongly identifying some programmes as split when they are not.

In this instance and programme mentioned in link Humax is doing exactly as it should.
The programmes have the split icon & therefore crid # code.
Panasonic recorder does exactly the same as Humax units.

3 scheduled timers recorded correctly i.e. both parts of the ‘split’ film.

I did say “some”.
