All timers dissapearing overnight, including series repeat.
formatted HD, no change.
tried uploading firmware through rs232, appeared to go but date stayed same (same version uploaded)
Do these things have a backup battery ?
how do i delete firmware ?
Can a firmware chip be blanked or replaced ?
Heeeelp !!!

I don't have one of these, however...
I can't imagine formatting the hard drive would help with losing timers.
A factory reset would be the first choice, followed by a format if that didn't help and you don't mind losing the recordings.
The firmware/software is pretty old, July 2011, I'd be surprised if you weren't already on this version. If you're not then you'll need to download the latest software from July 2011 1.00.26 and try again.
There isn't a backup battery that would keep the firmware intact. The firmware will be in non volatile memory on a chip and in theory could be deleted/blanked by overwriting with zeros or replaced with expert soldering skills, however I can't imagine anybody doing this, and it shouldn't be necessary.
Check the firmware version and update if necessary, if this doesn't help then let us know what firmware you're on? have you done a factory reset? Do you switch the box off completely overnight or leave it on or in standby? Also anything else you thing may be relevant,i.e. recent changes
Double check the above and report back with more info if necessary and I'm sure somebody, who has one of these, will be able to help/guide further

It has the latest firmware 1.00.26
Any idea how to overwrite the firmware as uploading same firmware still reports July 2011 install date.
time padding is set to auto, could changing to zero help ?(series timers appear, but are gone the next day)
Currently disabled automatic update to see if timers stay overnight!| Sat 23 Mar 2013 3:02:27 #4 | -

By "time padding" presumably you mean the GMT Offset setting, try it and let us know but my 9200 works fine set to Auto as does does my friend's 9300.
Have you done a Default Setting as suggested twice by Damian in his post above and again by Luke?

By time padding, I mean altering the start and end times of each timer set.but I'm told this stops series recordings.(could be a clue in there)
Gonna do a default reset and leave unplugged tonight.| Sat 23 Mar 2013 21:47:30 #7 | -

So you're talking about padding reservations, there is no 'Auto' setting. Are looking in the correct section of the menu.| Sun 24 Mar 2013 0:41:26 #8 | -

The single timer stayed in scedule overnight after complete power unplugged overnight !
Will try a daily scedule like "eggheads" and a weekly of something and report back as each test passes or fails !!| Mon 25 Mar 2013 23:58:15 #10 |
