HAVE SET BOX TO RECORD, SAYING ITS SET AND THEN DOESNT RECORD, ANY ADVICE PLEASE


My Goodmans GHD8015F2 recorder is receiving power but not displaying the clock. Was working ok but then clock ceased to be shown. Any clues? Is it an indication of a repair job or should I bury it in the garden?!


we have had our free view and TV recorder for around 4 years. has been doing the same things stated on here, recording random shows etc, however yesterday there were two red lights on the box, and when it was turned on it is continually in "boot" mode. we feel like we have tried everything. any suggestions?


It keeps randomly recording stuff I don't watch. When I go into the scheduled recordings and see its scheduled something I don't want, I cancel the recording, the symbol goes away, showing that has worked. Then a few seconds later the programme is suddenly scheduled to record again. This happens pretty much every day. I can cancel it ten times and it keeps coming back.


I have just plugged my goodmans freeview recorder in after about a year and it asks what screen format i want. then wants to do 1st retune but shows no aerial signal and cannot find any channels.Aerial is OK and loops through box to TV .


My TV shows 'No Signal' when attached to the set top box and my set top box just shows its green and red light on continuously. Nothing I press on the remote control or the power button on the front of the box changes anything. If I unplug the box, leave it a while, and turn it back on, the situation is unchanged. I still have no signal and two lights on. I have two years of films and TV shows recorded including shows I have appeared on. Are they lost forever?


I have a Goodman's 320G I bought second hand with a programmable remote but remote won't work it so I just bought a new Goodman's remote this doesn't work it either.
Any solutions as I ain't paying out anymore to get it fixed.


When I record a programme. And check it afterwards, I find that it has recorded programmes that I didn't set to record. It is happening on BBC and ITV. And they are programmes that we never watch anyway.

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.
