I had two recordings on BBC Four tonight that do not have the broken icon image, but are instead updated with the thumbnail.

This is after having re-routed my aerial lead, which has boosted slightly the signal strength on the BBC 4 mux.

Looks like the box is a little bit too sensitive in marking failures on weaker signals - and BBC 4 is on a mix that is weaker than the other main channels.

I doubt that will fix it - I still have it happen on bbc4 hd with 100% strength and quality.

Well, for me the BBC 4 MUX is highly susceptible to interference - I can knock it out completely with a badly placed HDMI cable, for example.

All I can say is that since routing the aerial well away from power cables, etc. I've seen a small boost in reported signal strength, and 5 recordings on BBC 4 with NONE showing a broken recording icon / message.
