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.

Problem: Can I cancel a programme I have set to record by mistake? How do I do this please? Do I have to wait until the programme is actually running to stop this recording mistake, or can I stop it before the starting time?
Problem: On playback of recordings the box freezes for about 3 or 4 minutes then starts up again? This happens about every hour on playback I may take it back to Argos had the box 4 months after returning a Bush recorder just kept missing recordings on that (i think it is the same company as Hitachi) apart from the one fault of stopping it does a very good job,If I could fix the fault it would be the perfect box for me BRIAN THE TRYER
Problem: Unit has stopped working after about a year's trouble-free use. Unplug power supply for 5 minutes then plug in again. After about 1 minute LED display shows "init". LED display goes blank then after about 2 minutes shows "inst". Unit does not progress beyond this point. Have tried using a more powerful 12v PSU to no avail.
Problem: Hi had my box for over a year now and the sound has become distorted. The tv is new, isn't that. Got a new ariel and it is still happening! Took the box and tried it on my other tv upstairs and it still sounds awful. Any advice would be very welcome :) thanks
Problem: Hi I have just bought my second Hitachi HDR5T01. When I put in a programme to record all is fine. When I watch a programme I have already recorded and run it forward to miss the adverts it takes out my new recording times for the programme I have just entered. The Bush does the same. What's all that about
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.
