    My 9300 regularly skips by 20 to 25 seconds when playing back Points of View (BBC1). The skips occur on captions (ie viewer letters displayed and read out) not on studio filming. The missing text can be viewed on rewind! I had hoped the new series of POV would be ok but it isn't. Is this a problem with POV or with my PVR please?

    I'm disappointed that nobody has responded. This must be the wrong site to get advice.

    If no one else records the programme on a 9300 then obviously the lack of response is not surprising.

    I have set this to record on the 6th May as a test.

    Hi Ian, you sure do know how to make friends don't you? I don't have a 9300 or watch PoV and never heard of Scott & Bailey. So not much use to you

    I'm assuming you've done all the usual, factory reset, checked you don't have multiples of the same channel hidden up in the 800's, made sure the 9300 isn't gettin too hot and as a last resort formatted the hard drive. There was some talk a while ago about DECT phones affecting certain freeview channels so is there anything close by that you suspect may be affecting it.

    Aside from that, Barry you're a star for replying, thank you for the support you and others give

    Thank you Barry and Damian. No I haven't done a factory reset or formatted the hard drive, because I don't want to lose recordings and it wouldn't be worth it for a minor problem. I'm tuned to only one transmitter (Waltham) and the highest numbered channel is 309. The unit doesn't get hot (not at the same time on a Sunday and only during the POV run anyway), and I'm sure I don't have a DECT phone as I've not heard of it!

    Good luck with the POV recording Barry!

    If you press the remote's TV/RADIO button what is the highest number?

    Old versions of the software could skip a lot. What version are you using?
    To look this up press MENU and then select System and then Status. The version number will end in something like 1.00.26.

    The menu option is called 'Default Setting'. It does not delete recordings from the hard drive. It's the HDD 'Format' that you need to avoid.

    Have you done a 'Default Setting' since you last updated the software?

    The highest radio channel is 810 (and there are no duplicates).

    Software Version is UPTTF 1.00.26.

    No, I haven't done a Default Setting - it's to be avoided I think, because of the need to retune manually as I'm on the border of at least 2 transmitter areas.

    I have replicated this, and will point it out to Humax the next time I speak with them.

    Thank you Barry - it's good to know that my 9300 isn't faulty after all!

    I'm having similar issues with my 9300T. I get really dreadful skipping on playback from certain programmes recorded off BBC3, specifically Family Guy or American Dad, and usually on the newer episodes rather than repeats. It seems to come and go, sometimes it's fine and other times it makes the programmes totally unwatchable. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated!
