Can anyone help me, I have a Fox T2 and if I try to record 2 programmes at the same time, one of them fails. I am not watching another channel, as when this is scheduled for I tend to watch TV through my TV's own tuner.

Is that a HDR FOX T2 or a HD FOX T2 ?

It's a HDR Fox T2.

Could this also be the reason we sometimes get picture breakup or is this just down to the transmitter we connect to?

Display the channel list, have you channels at 801 and higher ?

Yes, goes up to 830.

Thats your problem, As more transmiters increase power after analogue closes down digital transmitters you could not receive previously can now be found by your aerial,
Digital TV is transmitted using the same frequencies used by analogue TV. On analogue 1 UHF frequency equals 1 TV channel. In digital one UHF frequency equals lots of channels (Known as a MUX (short for multiplex). UHF channels in the UK start at 21 and go up to 68.
If you start a autotune it starts at 21 and checks every uhf channel it finds up to 68. If it finds an acceptable signal it stores it your channel list/epg. If it finds another it stores them starting at channel 800 and up. In your case the channels you need are likely now stored in the 800 plus numbers.
This causes major problems with pvrs.
The solution is fortunately easy but it requires that we know what your local transmitter is. If you know simply post the name, if not tell us roughly where live so we can identify your local transmitter. The easiest solution then is a factory reset and a manual tune to the 6 uhf frequencies used by your best transmitter.

My local transmitter is Bluebell hill but we can also get Anglian. We live in Gillingham, Kent.

Blubell Hill has no HD service until 2012 (DSO). Anglia would indicate either Tacolneston or Sandy Heath which seems unlikely in Guildford.
Using a random post code for Guildford your most likely transmitter is Guildford itself - No HD service until 18 april 2012.
If you are using this your aerial will be mounted with the elements vertical.
To use this transmitter carry out a factory reset and decline an autotune. Select manual tune check type is set to DVB-T and scan the following channels in turn
49 44 41 47 54 51
The alternative is Crystal Palace which requires your aerial to be horizontal. CP has a temporary low power HD service which you may find difficult to view
Do as above using these numbers
25 22 32 34 29 28
Change the mode to DVB-T2 (For the HD service)
Scan 31
Note if you can't get the HD service ota updates won't be actioned
