    I scheduled a recording of the Plácido Domingo's Gala Concert on BBC FOUR HD last night, and it seems to have recorded OK from Winter Hill.

    I simply ment that maybe a retune or 1.03.06 helped, I know the CF is only something 'on top' of the actual firmware, I just mentioned that for completness. So others know what setup I have.

    Same recording failed last night (Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy) on both a HDR FOX T2 (which has Custom Firmware) and HD FOX T2 (which has no CF).

    As I don't appear to be having any issues with recordings on BBC Four HD, I thought I would try again.

    I have set a recording for 19:00 tonight for Jet!...I have set the timer on both my HDR's and see what happens. But I haven't had any issues thus far.

    FYI: Both units have a none factory standard 1TB WD HDD and are running CF 2.20 over v1.03.06

    Mine is still on 1.02.29 as I always manually tune anyway. I imagine Barry's boxes will be on the later firmware though. It may be transmitter related. Mine is Lark Stoke for reference.

    I will try a retune.

    The problem we have is with BBC Three HD. Barry and I don't have COM 7 so no BBC FOUR HD.

    Thread title amended to reflect discussions.

    Something very strange for sure as CBBC HD timers appear to be recording without issue.

    I am using a later firmware, and receive from Caradon Hill.

    Additional timer set for Family Guy on BBC Three HD. Also set on both HDR's.

    This will be a new test for me as I have not recorded anything (timer or otherwise) on BBC Three HD yet.

    Same problem here with HDR fox T2 approx 1 year old. Failed recording 0 mins BBC3 HD, BBC4HD not yet available.
    Heathfield TX (sussex).

    A friend looking at Crystal Palace has same effect on BBC3 & 4 HD, his T2 is approx 2 years old.
    As Graham said Freesat works fine on both channels using my Foxsat HDR.

    Are any other manufacturers reporting problems?
