My goodmans GD11FVRSD50 keeps missing scheduled recordings but at other times it records fine ?


tried to set up the freeview followed instructions but when i wanted to record something it just comes up with recording device initializing what does this mean?


Trying to set recording on channel 46 at 6.00 am and 6.45 am. 6.45 recording set, but will not set for 6.00 recording. Weird. I have tried moving channel 46 with the channel organiser but it still will not set to record. gd11fvrsd50


When trying to record it shows recording device initialising


I have somehow reset my factory defaults (0000 and 1234) for my 500GB Freeview+ SD Digital TV Recorder/
Model. GD11FVRSD50
and forgotten new password,
any solutions please?


Have lost sound on my tv. Goodmans GD11FVRSD and Toshiba tv any ideas please?


BBC channels keep freezing and when I try to re-set channels it says reset manually and there is only an auto reset. Set top box is new. Aerial is ok .


The television keeps crashing when a mobile phone is used I took the aerial out of the box and put it directly into the tv and that worked perfect I have tried two different scart cables both still causing the same problem there is no hdmi socket in the goodmans box so I can't work out if the problem is the box or the cable any ideas


I have retuned my Goodmans GD11FVZS1 following the 3 September 2014 Freeview update. Since then I can only control it for a few seconds after unplugging the mains, then putting the plug in again. I can use any control on the remote (no controls on the box itself) for only a few seconds, then control freezes, but the programme that is on will carry on indefinitely. To regain control, I have to pull the mains plug. It seems to have accepted the new channel allocations.

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!

There are 0 comments on this problem.

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.
