[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 518295, member: 57999"] OK, this is looking even weirder now. Seems like it's not just scheduled recordings that are the problem. Last night it hung completely (had to reset the machine) ten minutes into a manually started recording. From watching full-screen live TV, I pressed record, selected "current programme", returned to home screen and stopped live TV. When I came back in an hour the clock had stopped ten minutes after I'd started the recording. Grrr. It's not that the machine is generally unstable because it never hangs while watching live TV or doing anything else - seems to be just recording it doesn't like. Really annoying, because it was working utterly reliably until a few weeks ago. I wonder what's changed to make it suddenly become so bad... Could a bad signal do this? I've had a bit of corruption recently while watching live TV, but nothing really bad - certainly not enough to crash MP. Could the recording bit of MP be more sensitive to bad signal (if that's what it is) than the live TV bit? As far as I was aware, making a recording is pretty much just half of watching live - doesn't it always write the ts file, then play it straight back again if you're watching live? Why should recordings hang when live TV is stable? Rob [/QUOTE]
