Hello, I'm a new member. I have a relatively old 'Humanoid', my fond term for a piece of kit which I have been thrilled with for past 6 years. It's a PVR200T. In the last couple of weeks there seems to be an incredibly poor reception on all ITV channels, and sometimes Channel5 also. As a result either nothing will record from these channel when I set it to or impossible to watch if it does record.
I am in Harpenden, Hertfordshire and it looks as though my ITV signal is now coming from Cambs & Beds transmitter whereas I am sure it used to come from Crystal Palace.
In addition lots of things I set to record on other channels, like Match of the Day, don't happen either.
Is my machine groaning with old age or just in need of some better informed operator?
I would appreciate suggestions.
many thanks.

Evening,
I just got this message whilst watching a recording. I thought perhaps the signal had dropped during the recording itself so tried another recording (one I knew was OK) and got the same message. Tried about 6 recordings - same message.
I tried putting the box into standby but that didn't fix it. I had to power the box off and back on.
I did search the web but didn't find a reason for the issue. Has anyone else seen this?
I'm on the Winter Hill transmitter (shouldn't matter as the message was seen when watching a recording).
Software version 1.02.28
Is this a sign the HDD is on it's way out? The box is just under a year old.
Thanks everyone,
Steve
