Have had an annoyance of every program I have attempted to SCHEDULE record on Quest failing. YouView doesn't appear to give any sort of failure reasons, which is annoying. No failures on any other channel, though I've yet to try and record from each one.
Did a few tests which indicate weird behaviour and I can't understand why this only seems to happen on Quest.
I had a recording scheduled at 11am by way of a test this morning. Checked the box at 11:45 and it wasn't recording, the schedule info was still showing as Record Pending ... Jumped back to live TV and changed channel to Quest, and almost immediately, the banner at the top of the page popped up saying Now Recording..... The programme following also started OK as I was still watching Quest live. The previous recording had only recorded from the moment I switched to that channel. Also, if the recording has started ok because you were on the channel, if you switch to another channel, the recording will just keep going and won't finish at the scheduled time. It's almost as though the EPG isn't being updated correctly, but just for that channel only. Very odd.
This issue is consistent and repeatable with trying to schedule record on Quest ... Recording will only work correctly if the box is on and remains on that channel.
We are in a slight,y challenging reception area, where we are taking PSB muxes for our correct West TV region from a Freeview Lite transmitter, but the commercial muxes off an out of region (Wales) main transmitter. All signal strengths and qualities are excellent (qual on all channels showing 100%) so it's not a signal issue.
Just wonder if anyone else has this issue or can possibly run a couple of tests. It's almost as if there is something that Quest is transmitting, or a bug in their EPG data that the box doesn't like when switching tuners across to record or finish recording.
Very puzzling..... And more than a little annoying.
