    Since C4 fixed the problem with recording the channel, have any members been recording on a regular basis, any feedback?

    Particularly interested in:

    Video - break up, aspect ratio
    Audio
    Subtitles
    AD
    Pause
    Rewind
    Instant Record.

    I recorded Time Team on Sunday and I was still getting video break-ups on playback.

    Recorded 10min clip of Glee this morning.

    No video break up, picture quality excellent.

    Primary audio AC3 5.1 secondary MP2 Stereo Audio Described.

    Pause programme skip and fast forward work as expected (slight delay with pause when using AC3 track like other HD channels).

    Programme has full info.

    AC3 5.1? Mmm! Is this finally the excuse I need to get a new AV amp. Saw a new Arcam being reviewed on The Register for £1600 - add in new speakers and could be the thick end of three or four grand.
