    That is alot of messing. If I'm on bbc1 and have no pause set I press record and frequently it fails to record to the end . If I'm on bbc1 change to bbc2 still no pausing and decided to instant record bbc2 the same thing can happen.
    I don't want to play around altering files.

    If you want to fix this and not lose recordings only option.

    Other than that watch any recordings you have not seen and format the HDD.

    Did you see the thread on this topic from a few weeks ago where the OP demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that the hard drive and file system were in perfect condition but the problem persisted? At that point I decided I didn't know what was going on.

    All I can add is that (for me) everything else is working as expected.

    It seems evertime I click instant record it shows the time of the program but a record time of 3.20 mins.
    The work around is to press twice to tell it to go to end of program. I am hoping this works

    No it doesn't work by pressing record button twice.

    This is still occurring.
    Just had a recording failure on BBC1 HD, recording claims to be 35 minutes long but is actually 9 mins 21 seconds and then ends. Had this type of thing frequently. The other variation is where the recording should be until the end of the prog (1 hour max) but is reported to be 1 hour 55 minutes but is actually only until the end of the prog as expected.
    Unfortunately I am unable to deliberately recreate the problem.

    It is a very odd problem and I ran out of ideas some time ago. I don't use instant recordings very often as I prefer to set recordings in advance for anything I might want to watch. Maybe you could keep a log (programme, channel, time, date) of when the problem occurs and when it doesn't and perhaps somebody could spot a pattern.
