    I previously had a Humax freeview and had no problems with this box.

    I have now purchased a Humax model HDR-1000S Freesat and am having the following problem. If I try to series link record two programmes during the day it allows me to set the first programme on series link record but when I try to do the same for the next programme it tells me that I cannot record due to a conflict with the first programme that I have set to record. I understand that they are both being recorded at the same time but it should allow me to record two programmes together. If I try to do the same on evening programmes it allows me to do it no problem. I have tried to reset the box back to factory settings but to no avail.
    Hope someone can assist me on this. Mick

    If I remember correctly somebody else had the same issue with This Morning, I've been looking for that particular thread but couldn't find it.
    I wonder if Graham remembers the same post and what the outcome may of been?

    I think it may not just be THIS MORNING..Reason is that i tried this afternoon to record two programmes with the same result and yet I have recorded two programmes this evening both running at the same time with no problem

    There is no East Midlands ITV-HD service. Basically you get either ITV-HD Granada or ITV-HD Central West.

    There is a known issue with ITV-HD for users using a postcode that gives you ITV-HD Granada for This Morning (For some weird reason it schedules two recordings for the same programme (hence the reason you can't schedule an extra recording).

    Unless the OP gives more detail we do not have much to go on.

    Can the OP try the following.

    Firstly make a note of the existing recording schedule (Photographing the screen with a digital camera/phone is a useful tip).

    Now do a freesat tune using the postcode B98. After re-instating your recording schedule can you schedule the two together.

    Can you post the first 3 characters of the postcode you used to setup the box.

    Your answer will help to find out what the issue is.

    Freesat seem to be convinced Humax boxes can only record one channel at the same time (patently absurb).

    I will look for the relevant thread tomorrow.
