    Thanks Barry, although sorry to hear that!
    By the way, what's an FVP? (Know I'll kick myself when you tell me...)

    I have reported many times that the 9xx0 machines miss some series-linked episodes in the week following the clock change and then continue correctly in later weeks, I wonder if Humax have managed to carry this bug over to later machines? It is a bit of a coincidence that you're all reporting this problem in the last week.

    That's very interesting although, in fairness, I think that so far I'm the only person reporting this problem. So it may just be my machine.

    However, it does seem an odd coincidence that it's only ever happened to me in the week following clock change. Is it simple to explain what causes the problem? And does it affect both clock changes or only the autumn one?

    I've not tried to explain it, just observed it on my 9200 and my friend's 9300. Emmerdale and Corro having multiple episodes during the week are the reservations that make it most obvious for us. Some reservation will be missing in the week following the clock change and if nothing is done all reservations continue normally the week after and so on. If the series-link is cancelled and re-made all episodes are picked up. It happens at both clock changes.

    Thanks. I've now reset the programmes that didn't record this week but will keep a close eye on things this week.

    PS I'm sure you are right but I don't recall this ever happening on my 9200T.

    Happens every time for us and having posted to a couple of posters on other forums over the years it happens to other people too. Another friend with a 9300 sees the same problem.

    It is certainly not a common problem on the HDR models; I think Victor Delta's problem is something else but not sure what.

    In all my years with Humax products (over 10) I have never witnessed a problem with timers and the clock change on any models released in that time frame.

    Whilst the OP has stated that tuning is not the problem, if it persists I would definitely recommend checking this again.

    .....

    How strange that we see this at every clock change with series-linked reservations on the 9200 and 9300 in different locations and it is usually the exact same episodes that are missed.

    Pleased to report no further problems this week.

    I know it doesn't prove anything but, at the very least, it is a strange coincidence that my missed recordings were only in the week after the clocks changed...
