    I often get a failed recording message for BBC 4 recordings even though the recording works fine. Does anyone else get this ?

    I've seen this once on BBC4 and on just about everything I record from CITV. Assumed with CITV it was something to do with programmes rarely being broadcast on time.

    You've mentioned this before in the beta area, and I stated that I had reported to Humax Towers. They have acknowledged the 'thumbnail' issue and it will be fixed at some stage.

    I find once a BBC4 HD recording has been played, the thumbnail appears.

    I only got these messages when there was some problem with the aerial or something beyond my control.

    I found that even though the recording started playing there was something serious or less serious that interupted the picture...so the message was right. It could range from brief blocking through stuttering over minutes to a complete loss of picture. I reckon any stutter could cause the system to display a failure message

    Now everything seems to be working well Ive made numerous recordings on HD and they have come out perfectly. Im just watching one Planet Earth again now. Its quite something condidering the amount of data over that time. I would have thought that atmospheric factors or even a taxi cab passing would possibly affect the picture

    All my Hd channels seems to be working perfectly now(touch wood) East Cheshire so winter hill works

    Im just relieved the system does work because I had problems for months for some unknown reason

    Sorry Barry, forgotten I had mentioned it before. What is meant by it being a "thumbnail issue" ?

    Instead of displaying a screengrab from the programme the error icon is being displayed initially. If the programme is viewed a screengrab is then displayed correctly.

    Just playing the first couple of seconds of the recording will do it.
