Have set up some additional recordings to try and get back up to around 1500 and have told her to take a picture of any error messages in future.
Was mainly recordings that were cleared out, only have been 1 or 2 schedules that were removed although why the box now keeps schedules indefinitely in the list is beyond me.
Largest number of items recorded in a series is 169.
Will feed back once i get back up to 1500.

They aren't indefinite. The broadcasters have an arrangement where CRID codes can be recycled after not being used for 13 weeks. If they don't pick up any new recordings after 13 weeks they get auto deleted.

Sorry, worded that badly, i meant that unlike previous boxes the 4000T doesn't seem to delete the schedule after the 13 weeks

Expired timers most certainly did auto delete when I tested this recently.

Agreed, they delete from my schedule too

Ok, took a couple of weeks but message is back. See attached along with shot of storage status.

Thoughts?

Interesting that you apparently have space for 99 more recordings. I take it you don't have auto delete enabled ?

And from mine

However it's clearly a number of recordings issue rather than lack of disk space. I wonder if auto delete only works on disk space rather than number of recordings.

Even with a 2TB drive nearly full, never got even close to 1500 recordings.

Perhaps Barry will make some enquiries at Humax Towers

Random check

ITV-HD Next Of Kin last recorded Tuesday 6th Feb should delete on or around 8th May. I will check if it goes.

This limit is news to me - though never had anywhere near that amount of recordings stored.

Have asked Humax Towers if they are aware of this.
