    While trying to record a 2h 30m movie unit stopped recording after 2hours. Is this the maximum time that can be recorded?.
    When the movie started, while the TV was on I pressed the red button on remote to start recording.
    Thanks for any info,

    There seem to be problems with instant record (ie pressing the record button) and nobody seems to have come up with a reason for it. There is quite a bit inconclusive discussion on the subject here:

    Assuming you pressed the instant record button just once, it should have recorded until the end of the programme.
    However, I have been having problems with this function for several months now. May I suggest that you monitor the outcome of future "instant record" events and if you have any more (similar) problems, report them to Humax.

    Thanks for your quick replies.
    I usually set recordings through the Guide. It was the first time using the red button.
    Recording through the Guide works O.K. bit they have been for recordings of 1 hour duration.
    Could this be a software problem?
    I appear to not be the only one that has had this problem.
    Cheers.

    Setting from the guide, I successfully recorded the whole of the Olympics opening ceremony which was about 4 hours I think, so there is no 2 hour limit there.
