This may be a very simple question but how should we set-up our 5000T so it records more than two days of programmes after we leave it alone for a ten day holiday?
Came back today to find the 5000T stuck in standby (red light) and needed a 13amp reset to get it going again. No power failures whilst away.
Current set-up:
> Power on/off timer for 0500 to 0530 on BBC1 HD to refresh EPG daily.
> CEC Disabled so TV/AMP not randomly powered on during above timer.
> Connected via HDMI to AMP
> Dedicated TV cable input with attenuator to reduce signal. Passthrough cable connected to TV from 5000T
Frustrated to say the least as its the second time this year its packed-up after two days left on its own and some missed programmes are not available on catch-up.
Thinking about putting in a time switch to remove power at 0300 everyday for 5 minutes for force a reset but then on reflection seems a bit old tech for what is supposed to be best box on the market.
