Hi all,
I had a 9300 for several years. From time to time it would miss a recording, but not very often (I always did the manual tune option). Then gradually it failed on more and more programmes. Seemed to be the "clock" problem as the fails were when on stand by.
Last week I replaced it with a new 1800T. Did the manual tune, all good. On Monday it failed to record Only Connect. On Friday it failed to record any BBC programmes. In the meantime it recorded a dozen programmes fine. What could possibly be going wrong? Am I jinxed?
I had thought I could change the recording mode like I think I could on the 9300 so that it records at the set time rather than when the programme actually started. But that doesn't seem to be an option on the 1800T.
I don't know what to do now. Could it be a duff box (seems unlikely, I would have thought that it would work all the time or not at all)?
Just as a shot in the dark, the box doesn't have an "off" state where it won't record at all does it (obviously other than unplugging from the wall!)? I use an all-in-one remote so want to rule that out as an option that the remote could be turning it off too far.
Does the "start recording" signal vary by transmitter? Could it be that my local one (Sandy) is just rubbish?
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks!
