When I try to record something it keeps flashing up with a message stating "timers are scheduled". I checked to make sure two things weren't recording at the same time and they wasn't and now it seems to flash up with this message nearly every time I try and record something


We are now on our second Goodman box!! We thought the first one had broken but now this one has exactly the same problem. When recording any bbc channels it freezers stops jerks to the point where it is unwatchable so we did a test and have watched a programme that is being recorded and it's okay at the time but not when you play it back....so frustrating!!

When I switch my box on it says connecting to host and just stays there for hours. I cannot turn it off with the remote. I have to switch it off at the wall. Eventually I got it to work and after an hour or so it goes to the connecting to host screen. This is a new box. Is it faulty???


I have just connected my goodman box but the screen is red and I can't get any sound either is there a solution


Have series recordings shown in folders and individually. On attempt to delete folder on a single recording is deleted not entire folder?

Is this issue common to other users?


When I try to record it says not enough room would I like to delete, I say yes and it states no recordings available. There is nothing in my LIB


Following a retune, my tv guide is not working. All channels/days/times show 'No event information'. This means I can't set any recordings. Any ideas, anyone?


Have moved house and trying to set up our digital TV recorder again, cannot get the remote todo anything . Have put in new batteries and relocated the TV and recorder. Recorder is stuck on bbc1 and we cannot do anything with it not even MENU and 0. All was ok at our previous house!


My box freezes/ sticks on a blue screen saying

"Software update through PC/UART

connecting to Host....

Loader Version 1.00"

Even when i unplug it at mains it comes back on at theis screen, can stay like this for hours. Happens at randome times. Unit new.

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!

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.
