This within the last 2 weeks on my DTR-T1010:
I set a programme to record and, about 4 times out of 5, it will record only the first 2 minutes.
If the scheduled programme is on a channel which has a 'sister' channel which goes out, say, one hour later, e.g. ITV and ITV+1, and if the failed recording was scheduled to be recorded on ITV, it will automatically start recording the programme again one hour later on ITV+1 and, thus far, has always recorded properly on the 'backup'. If, however, there is no +1 channel, e.g. BBC, that's tough, the recording simply fails and there is no alternative apart from the iPlayer.
Why does it not record the whole programme on the original channel? Where is there a setting to record only the first two minutes? I've been right through the settings and found nothing and wonder if I've inadvertently pressed a secret sequence of buttons on the remote and entered some unknown maintenance mode.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get it to start recording properly again?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Paul
