[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1113404, member: 141969"] These days, if I am not expecting something to go wrong, I don't pay attention to factors that may subsequently turn out to be important. Was I time-shifting? Umm, I don't [i]think[/i] that I was time-shifting, but if the logs say otherwise... The time of the first "error" at 21:07:47 is curious, as that is much earlier than the time that I deduced for the more-widespread failure (screen freeze, with all-but-one recordings ending prematurely). In the UK, not all MUXes are broadcast with the same power, so channels on the less-powerful MUXes are more prone to momentary pixelation if one's aerial system is not optimal. Usually I have no problem with any of the MUXes, but over the past week or so I have had momentary pixelation on some channels, possibly caused by the atmospheric conditions in the UK at the moment. Could the error at 21:07:47 be a momentary drop out rather than the start of the widespread failure? I determined the time of the widespread failure by looking at the recordings that ended prematurely. As they were incomplete, and most were repeated later in the week, I deleted them. However, I did keep one recording (for the radio science documentary "Frontiers"); this had almost completed, and is not repeated later in the week. I have just examined it again. The broadcast time was 21:00-21:30, so with 1 minute pre-padding and 5 minutes post-padding, the recording should have been 20:59-21:35, and these are the start and end times shown on the "Recorded Radio" panel. But when I play the recording, it terminates at 24 mins 8 secs, so this is how I deduced the time of 21:23:00 plus/minus 1 min for the time of the widespread failure. The aspect that I find more concerning is the fact that the [i]later[/i] recordings failed to start ("The 13th Warrior" and "Dallas"). After rebooting, these started immediately, so there was no signal problem with them; either TV Server or the tuner driver had got into a state where it could not start the recordings (which seems similar to the EPG problem in the other thread). If I am going on holiday for two weeks, and there is an "event" similar to the one in this thread, I could return home two weeks later to find that [i]none[/i] of the scheduled recordings had taken place. :eek: That is why I would like to try to identify the cause of this problem, and arrive at a fix (if possible). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
