    My 9300T had started to miss some recordings, so I re-formatted & set it to the default yesterday. Now, I find that it has recorded three programs, but missed another four! Two of which are being transmitted now, & are programmed in the EPG, but are not being recorded.
    Is it time to get shot?

    Are you confident that the box is correctly tuned with all multiplexes coming from a single transmitter (channels numbered above 800 would be one symptom of incorrect tuning)? The fix for incorrect tuning is a manual tune using these instructions (courtesy of Biggles):Manula tuning FAQ

    I forgot to mention:- when I re-formatted the 9300T, it was done in a flash! I was expecting it to take several minutes, but it was done in seconds. Could this be faulty?

    Your solution is too complicated for me to carry out. I don't understand the figures in Digitaluk's website.All I know, is that I get all freeview channels, & all have a strong signal. none of them are numbered above 800. I suppose that they are from Bilsdale.

    No it is completely normal; it only rewrites the file system, the equivalent of a Windows quick format.

    Success! My son translated Biggles instructions. The EPG still only shows a full page for three days. It's impossible to program a week ahead, like I used to a couple of years back.
    When new channels are available, does he/I use the same numbers to update?
    Also, how do I know when new channels are available? My friends TV tells her when new channels are available, but our LG TV doesn't.

    You should be getting a full EPG for the channel you are tuned to and all other channels carried on the same multiplex.

    Re - translated.
    It was all Greek to me. Anyway, a foreign language.
    I didn't know that I would get a full EPG for the current channel, & all its associates. Handy, that.
    Thanks for your help.
