My Goodmans 500gb freeview recorder sometimes doesn't record? The fault seems to be the "MEDIA INITIALIZING" feature. From time to time, it seems to lose this feature and then the recording does not happen because it does not recognise any channels (although you can view them)? Turning it off/on used to do the trick but lately it does not always do the "MEDIA INTIALIZING" function when first turned on. If it does not perform the "MEDIA INITIALIZING" on start up, you can view the channels but you can't record or even pause "live TV". It's a real pain because it can happen at any time even in "STANDBY", right now I've got a less than 50% chance that it'll record anything at all? Anyone know how to set the MEDIA INITIALIZATION using the remote etc? Fed up turning it off/on all the time. Thanks for reading this. Cheers

I've got a Goodmans 500gb freeview recorder. It is stuck in record...the display shows a red and green lights, there's no picture or sound and turning it off/on doesn't work? The on/off switch doesn't work, neither does the remote? Left it unplugged for a couple of weeks only to find the same fault? Anyone else got this problem?

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.
