Do people get many missed recordings?
I have a couple of things on series record and went away for 16 days. When I came back, only the first week had recorded.
Also I had a recording which failed to occur last night, with no notification that anything had failed.
I have to add - I have not had many missed recordings up until the past couple of weeks.
Was your recording schedule still intact after returning from holiday ? If not it could be down to a auto retune event.
Do you have padding enabled on recordings or set to auto ? This is another possible reason that would require some testing to see if this is the issue. On other Humax boxes there was an issue with using padding for longer than a week. When using padding the box wakes up at the set time and shuts down at the set time. Unlike using auto which wakes up 15 mins before a programme is due to record and during this time the epg is refreshed. With padding a effected box never gets to update the epg so the epg shrinks by one day every 24 hrs. After 7 days no epg is left so recording stops until the box is manually booted. The solution is simple set a daily power on and power off timer for 15 mins to enable the epg to update.
Yes the recording schedule was still intact.
I think the padding is set to auto but will check.
Thanks

The other thing to check is that you haven't got programmes in the epg with channel numbers over 800. If so you are tuning into more than 1 transmitter. This does produce failed recordings. If you have, manual tuning the box is required.
I had another missed recording this morning. It was recording when we went to bed last night (was showing in the recordings screen with a red circle) but had disappeared when we switched on this morning.
A bit of detail could help to stat identify what the issue is.
Which channel were you last watching last night?
Which channel were you attempting to record?
Why do you think it was actually recording?
Did you switch it to stand-by when you left it last night?
I was recording the proms last night (BBC 2 HD I think).
I was watching on demand netflix.
I think it was actually recording because there was a 'thumbnail' in the recorded programmes list which had a red circle in the corner.
Yes I switched to standby when I left it last night.
Over the weekend, I had a thought about this last missed recording. I think it was actually on BBC Four so I may have selected to record the HD version. I just noticed that BBC Four HD has no programme information with it (I retuned before the Olympics but haven't retuned again after them!). This is probably the reason for the missed recording - it was recording nothing!
I have had 2 failed recordings in the last couple of weeks both , "recording failed due to power fail". My box is connected to a UPS so definitely no power fail. Both times same program different days. Robot Wars 04:00 - 05:00, but only got 04:00 - 04:05 recorded.
