    Hello,

    I have the following issues with recording from BBC Four, these issues do not happen all the time and there is no set pattern the issues just happen these issues only happen when recording from BBC four, when recording from BBC Four and play back the recording at the start of the recording the following message appears at the top of the screen recording failed due broadcast not broadcast on time and then the message disappear and I carry on watching the recording.

    The other issue I face when watching back recordings the recording starts but no picture appears on the screen get sound but the time of the recording is showing 000.

    I have done a full re-tune and reset the box but still have the issues.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    Matthew

    I have seen that behaviour; I think it is harmless and you just have to ignore it because there is nothing that you can do about it.

    The other issue I face when watching back recordings the recording starts but no picture appears on the screen get sound but the time of the recording is showing 000.

    Are those recordings from BBC Four or other channels? How often does it happen?

    The BBC Four “failure” due to no programme being broadcast is one I’ve seen many times. In all cases the programme was broadcast and there were no errors. C’est la vie!

    Not seen the other problem. Any particular programme or time of day when it happens?

    Apache: Do you have start and end padding times set to Auto or to a number of minutes?

    I have a recollection that, very early on, I didn't use Auto and if I tried to record BBC4 for a programme at 1900, it failed as you describe due to it trying to record a few minutes before the BBC4 signal became available.
