    Freesat HDR 100S 500GB

    I've been unable to record from EPG, either single or series. I can press the record button and it records. It seems to have started about 2 weeks ago but only occasionally but now it's a no go. I set the programmes to record via EPG but it doesn't record and comes up as 'failed'.

    I've unplugged for a few minutes, cleaned out old timings, only used 43% HDD. I don't want to do a reset as there lots of series I've yet to watch.

    Any advise please would be appreciated.

    Doing a reset to defaults will not delete existing recordings but you will need to redo the schedule of future recordings.

    Similar problem with my HDR Foxsats - Freesat doesn't seem to be transmitting the info/code that allows Accurate Recording to work. I changed to 'padded' recordings, i.e +/- 5mins, and that at least started recording. Have rescheduled my recordings for this evening so will report back later.

    Having same problem. Recorded programmes haven't recorded today. So annoying. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

    All 8pm recordings have started (@ 7:55pm with +/- 5min padding).

    What is the +/- 5 min padding, don't seem to have that function on mine?

    On my Foxsat it's :

    Menu / Settings / Recording Start Time & End Time

    Options are Auto, 1 min, 2 mins, 3 mins or 5mins

    Setting Start and End Padding to other than Auto disables accurate record.
    Not all channels use accurate record.
