Can not get the on my recorder to it just stays in boot mode


I have moved the digy box and tried to re install it else were, but at stage one of six of reinstall it froze .. and I have unplugged it and tried a "hard re boot" but it always opens up at the same stage , can you help please.
Regards


Recordings keep recording past the end of the programme. Seems to happen mostly when recording a series linked programme. On one occasion, the recording carried on for 2 days past the end and couldn't be stopped other than by turning off the power. Also getting multiple failed recordings.


I only have one cable from the dish. I connected it to LNB 1 and it saw the signal at 75% and loaded the channels. I could watch all the channels so tried to record by opening the guide and highlighting a programme and when I pressed record the r icon appeared in front of the correct listing. I switched the tv to standby and left it to record. When I came back at the end time the tv switched on on the channel I had been recording but when I opened the library it said recording failed. I then tried moving the cable to LNB2 but all I got was no signal for each channel. Any suggestions please.


Installed a software update found here > http://www.goodmans.co.uk/software-update-13082013

Since the install, the machine randomnly jumps to the "Receiver update screen" as if it's attempting to install again but the screen seems frozen. Only way to recover is to switch machine off and back on. This can be done with the remote, i.e. it doesn't have to be unplugged. If it was a computer, I'd be looking at removing it from the startup list.

Ideas anyone?

Problem: Recordings keep failing. Sometimes when I record a programme, I get an error message and I lose the recording.

Solution 1: Recordings fail for a number of reasons. If you schedule the recording and it records - but records the wrong thing - the box might be tuned to two different regions. Reset the channels and manually tune them if you suspect this to be the case.
If the unit is on a series record but has missed the programme, check the programme guide to see if future episodes are being recorded. It may have identified the programme as a different series for some reason, so set a series link on any future episodes that are not being recorded.

Other failed recordings can show a problem with the unit. One or two failed recordings do not necessarily mean that your unit has a fault - it could be due to a power cut or your box could have (unluckily!) frozen or crashed prior to the start of the programme.

However, if there are numerous failed recordings and it continues to occur even though you can watch TV OK, it sounds like a problem with the hard disk and this will need to be either repaired or replaced.

Problem: The unit has just frozen up. It keeps freezing and then shutting itself down.

There are 0 comments on this problem.

Solution 1: It can be extremely frustrating when this happens. Most of the time, there isn't much you can do other than turn it off and then on again, at the mains if the power button isn't responding.

However, there are a few things you can check to help prevent it in the future. Number one is check how hot it is. Freezing can happen when the unit isn't properly ventilated or is in a hot place. Make sure all the vents are uncovered and there is nothing on top of it.
You might also want to check for system updates.
Finally, you might consider turning the unit off and then on again regularly to reboot it. Freezing often occurs when it has been running for a long time, so once a week or so you could try to reboot it by switching it off and on. If you don't want to do this yourself, you might consider buying a timer switch to do this for you at a time you know you won't be using the machine, e.g. 4AM.
