recorded programme with series link tried to play it back came up series sceduled wont play back


Goodmans set top box was working ok. I had to replace my tv and have bought a Samsung with built in freeview but have to be able to use goodmans to record. Problem is that box now seems unable to retain channels. I have retuned it several times and once it found all of the usual channels which later disappeared and subsequently it is only finding three local channels. Can anyone help?


I have a Goodmans GDB5 Digital Set Top Box bought cheaply due to not having a remote control.
Is it possible to program a Universal RC to get the box working?


I have Goodmans GD11FVRSD Freeview Digital TV recorder. The hard disc drive is now showing that it is full when it shouldn't - the total hours of programmes/films I have recorded shouldn't even fill half of the drive. For example overnight it went from saying I had 33 hours recording space left down to 16 hours - and I hadn't made any recordings in that time! What can I do? I don't want to lose some of the programmes I have already recorded but obviously I want to be able to record other programmes in the future.


not recording.Keeps saying no video


not recording.Keeps saying no video


Since my freeview GDB18FVZS2 box upgraded itself a few weeks ago, the remote control has worked intermittently and has now stopped working altogether. The box keeps going into automatic standby mode.


green light stuck on, Programme comes on for 5 seconds then freezes, Unable to switch off either manually or by remote, have to pull plug!
Also says it has recorded a programme but has not!
Useless waste of money.


I cant record anything on my goodmans box it keeps coming up with recording device initializing... any ideas on how I can get it to record?

Solution 1: Press the 'guide' button & scroll (up or down) to the item ur recording. Az u know, there will be a red circle with an R on it, just press the 'record' button on ur remote & it shud say, 'stop recording' ... press OK - problem solved (hopefully) lol. Happy viewing, xx

Problem: have just bought a goodmans digital recorder GD11FVRST50 installed it, can get all tv stations thru the recorder but when it is put on standby cannot pick up any stations on the tv message comes up no signal -any ideas what is wrong

Solution 1: You have to fit aerial splitter to the "RF IN" socket on back of DTR. Then connect a lead from the splitter to the TV. In effect you then have separate leads to DTR and TV and you will be able to watch TV when DTR is on standby.

Problem: What does the reserved part in the library mean? It looks like that’s what recording time I have left but then says next to it “remaining” 190 odd hours left I don’t understand it!

Solution 1: Reserve part in library is recordings waiting to record, ie part of a series recording later.
Remaining is the recording time left on hard drive. On my HDD information bar the reserved part is shaded 'yellow' used, 'red' remaining, 'green

Problem: My gv 102zrh seems to have stopped recording new programs, but the ones on series link still record perfect. It says 80% remaining. I have switched off overnight, but no difference

There are 0 comments on this problem.

Solution 1: The linked series might be causing the problem. Try stopping all the series, channel retune,turn to standby for a good 20 minutes, turn back on and re-set the series. If any old series re-appear at a later date you will need to stop them as above. Hope that helps.
