Hi Carol.

It’s a relief to know that I’m not the only one having this problem, but 
strangely it seems to have righted itself, at least for now.  My brother came 
yesterday and when he set up a timer for recording it worked!  He set up a 
recording in exactly the same way as I do with no problem at all.  When he left 
I set one up to prove it wasn’t a fluke and it was fine.  I haven’t tried it 
today as yet but I will be recording Coronation Street this evening so fingers 
crossed, hopefully it will behave itself.  

Valerie.

This sounds as though it's the problem that we have been having. We find the 
only way round is to leave the TV and box switched on if we are going out in 
the evening. We have not discovered a way to sort it when we are away for a 
week. We have mentioned it several times here but  nobody seems to have a fix.

On the evenings that we have wanted to record and haven't left the box or TV 
switched on, we have wants to record three or four programmes after each other. 
We did wonder at one stage if this was the  problem, but never tracked it down.

  Hello again.
  Having solved the problem of poor signal strength, I’ve hurtled headlong into 
another.  Until a few weeks ago the box has been recording normally via the 
ProgrammeGuide.  Now it’s not recording at all, and when I go into the list of 
timers it’s telling me that the programmes could not be found in the broadcast 
schedules.  I’ve contacted the RNIB about this but they say it’s something 
beyond my control or theirs and suggested I re-set the box.  I’ve done this but 
it’s made no difference.  I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem, 
and if so, what the answer is.  If I want to record a programme now I have to 
set it manually which isn’t satisfactory.  I should add that if I set up a 
timer via the Programme Guide to start recording whilst the TV is onit starts 
recording normally.  Any thoughts?
