(Click on a problem to comment or help)i recently turned on unit it now will not pick any channels the rest of the unit works
ie recorded programs etc any ideas
when I auto tune it it only has bbc tv and radio channels. what am I doing wrong?
Timer recording-A program that is for a 1 hour period, shows as 'recording' is dated 10 days ago. I have tried deleting this, but a message tells me this cannot be done whilst recording is in progress!
This problem is affecting other programs in the record list.
What can I do to remove the 'listed' program?
Thank you
When I try to record the little rec icon flashes red. No programs have been recorded since it started doing this.
It keeps saying 'no signal' although clearly there is one as the picture is coming through fine.
I have reset the box a couple of times and retuned the channels.
Doesn't make a difference so far?
Suggestions welcome

Solution 1: It can be extremely frustrating when this happens. Most of the time, there isn't much you can do other than turn it off and then on again, at the mains if the power button isn't responding.
However, there are a few things you can check to help prevent it in the future. Number one is check how hot it is. Freezing can happen when the unit isn't properly ventilated or is in a hot place. Make sure all the vents are uncovered and there is nothing on top of it.
You might also want to check for system updates.
Finally, you might consider turning the unit off and then on again regularly to reboot it. Freezing often occurs when it has been running for a long time, so once a week or so you could try to reboot it by switching it off and on. If you don't want to do this yourself, you might consider buying a timer switch to do this for you at a time you know you won't be using the machine, e.g. 4AM.

Solution 1: Recordings fail for a number of reasons. If you schedule the recording and it records - but records the wrong thing - the box might be tuned to two different regions. Reset the channels and manually tune them if you suspect this to be the case.
If the unit is on a series record but has missed the programme, check the programme guide to see if future episodes are being recorded. It may have identified the programme as a different series for some reason, so set a series link on any future episodes that are not being recorded.
Other failed recordings can show a problem with the unit. One or two failed recordings do not necessarily mean that your unit has a fault - it could be due to a power cut or your box could have (unluckily!) frozen or crashed prior to the start of the programme.
However, if there are numerous failed recordings and it continues to occur even though you can watch TV OK, it sounds like a problem with the hard disk and this will need to be either repaired or replaced.
