Problem: When I press the EPG button the programmes displayed only go from 700 to 804. I can only therefore record programmes in advance by using the Timers option, which, apart from being a slower method, results in the programmes coming up in the Recordings Library with just the channel and the date - no programme title or info.

After experienceing random re-boot errors with earlier Hitachi/Luxor PVRs, but liking the Hitachi/Vestel on-screen menu systems (and not liking our Humax's), I recently bought a Hitachi HDR5T01.
The HDR5T01 seems to work well but the font size is very small and uncomfortable to read at our normal viewing distance (2-3m).
There's nothing in the User Manual, and Argos Customer Services says there is no way to increase the font size. I can find nothing online about this, but can't believe we are the only people having difficulty with the font size.
Can anyone advise whether this is normal and whether the font size can be increased?
Problem: Random recorded picture and sound freezes during playback(not HD). Will freeze for anything up to 30 seconds and then restart if left, and play for some hours without freezing again. Suspected it might be tied in with the second tuner starting recording but the fault is not consistent. Software version is UK-v1.22.1 and cant find newer firmware.
Problem: Four channels stay permanently highlighted on epg Have tried re-installs but they stay the same. I think it might be causing the warning box to appear when watching live TV and recording one channel and it turns over to channel being recorded.
If you have a problem and the PVR or Hard Disk Recorder is under a year old, contact your retailer to arrange a repair or replacement. Under the Sale of Goods Act, you should be covered for at least a year and maybe longer.
If you open a PVR or Hard Disk Recorder, you are likely to invalidate the warranty.
