    Hi
    I have a recent (last couple of months) box and am getting sporadic failed recordings. Anyone any thoughts on what might be wrong, do I have a dodgy box? I have looked at other threads on the subject and I have no channels in the 800s (did a manual tune) and have no padding turned on. Any other common problems?

    If you have no padding, then the Humax will use AR (Accurate Recording), in this mode the box turns on 15 Mins before the EPG start time and looks for a start signal transmitted by the broadcaster before recording will start. The BBC channels don't normally have a problem with the AR signals, however the other channels (especially Channel 5) have been known to 'forget' to transmit the start signal. I would try padding, say just 2 mins at the end, this will turn off AR, just to see if it solves the problem
