I had not used the HTPC yesterday but it had started up to record various programmes. In the end I had to pull the power cord to switch off as I could not get even the HTPC to turn on its display. I also found the TV programmes recorded yesterday onto the NAS drive (all from satellite) are unplayable by any program - they are badly distorted I started MP which was very slow to start. The default channel BBC1 (could be either Satellite or Terrestrial) had no picture but after a long delay had sound I started TV server but was unable to get a preview of a channel.
