Well, lo and behold, it all happened again this year after the clocks went back.
Tonight I had 3 recordings set - series link on Poldark and Tutankhamun (both starting at 2100) and the BBC news at 2200 set to record weekly from 22.00 to 22.35 (to record the national and local news and weather all in one recording).
Presumably Poldark started first because that appears to have recorded ok (albeit with the recording showing the start time as 2200 (instead of 2100).
Then the news recording started - but at 2100 rather than 2200. And so I now have what is in effect a second recording of the first 35 minutes of Poldark!
The Tutankhamun recordng must have then tried to start but sadly found 2 recordings already in progress and so failed 'owing to a higher priority recording'.
Result one successful recording out of 3.
Good I guess that the series link recordings were probably ok but clearly there must be some sort of software bug in the timer software for the manually set recording to run an hour earlier than it should.
Anyone have the same problem and/or any suggestions how to overcome it.
Given the above and what happened last year (see earlier posts), I am inclined to delete all my programmes set to record and start the list from scratch again.
PS The first time the Humax box came on today was in the run up to the first recording - although I would have thought this would update the clock. Might it have helped if I had just switched the box on earlier in the day to update the clock at an earlier stage?
