[QUOTE="nick8571, post: 879496, member: 126449"] Thanks for the response and suggestions. Yup, already tried the Wimbledon transmissions on BBC1 HD, several days running (they were the obvious test candidates) - each time they've recorded perfectly OK for the full scheduled duration with no issues. On the (rare) occasions when Breakfast has recorded OK for the full length, it produces a .ts file size of just under 11GB (duration as expected, 3hr 27min), but today it stopped at 6.4 GB (duration 2hrs 1min). Yesterday it was 4.3 GB (1hr 18min), and the day before it was 5.6GB (1hr 44min). As you can see, there doesn't seem to be any obvious pattern or consistency, and there's nothing in the log files that seems to make any sense either. Breakfast on BBC1 HD is all continuous content - there's a placeholder clip when the regional news (SD only) is transmitted, but the broadcast itself isn't interrupted. There's no apparent correlation between the regional news times and the times of the recording failure anyway, so I wouldn't have thought there was a connection there. It's a flipping mystery, I've been googling till my eyes are raw, without any success... I suppose I could try an uninstall/reinstall of MP and ultimately Windows if need be, but I'd rather avoid that if possible for obvious reasons. :( [/QUOTE]
