    Since Monday my box has stopped recording all my scheduled recordings during the day time. Anything after 6pm is fine however.
    I've tried recording different channels, resetting the schedules recording but all to no avail.
    Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

    The box has been retuned recently. It's probably about 6 years old

    Was that a manual retune? Are you confident the box is tuned to a single transmitter?

    It wasn't a manual retune. How would I check if it was a single transmitter or not?

    Check for duplicate channels in the 800's

    You wont find duplicates anywhere else. If the box finds a duplicate channel during the auto tune process it stores them in the 800's. Depending on the two transmitters the one with the correct logical channel number may be the one from your best transmitter or it may not.

    You didn't by any chance have them after the tune and manually deleted them ?

    Nope, I literally re tuned it and left it. It has been recording fine for about two weeks without issue since the retune and then this has just happened.
    One of the programmes which doesn't record is on itv but then a programme later in the evening on itv record fine.

    What happens if you set a manual recording for the ITV programme that fails to record ?

    Tried that this morning and that fails as well. Then the recordings from 5:30pm are all fine.
    It's a mystery. I've checked and we've had power to the box all day.

    This is the wierdest HDR-FOX-T2 issue I have ever seen. I take it live pause/rewind works OK ?

    Was the box left in sby and left to boot itself to make the recordings ?

    If left on does it then make the recordings ?

    Are the evening recordings made after you boot the box or also made from sby ?

    If all the failed recordings are made from sby it could be a clock module issue.
