Hi Carol.
Well, serves me right for speaking too soon! I set it all up to record
Coronation Street last night whilst I was out and this time it did a very
strange thing. It didn’t record the programme, but when I checked in the list
of timers it reported that it had recorded Coronation Street on Thursday, April
18th from 6.25 AM. to 6.50 AM. Obviously that’s rubbish because Coronation
Street isn’t on at that time. I deleted that and then set it up for recording
a Question of Sport at 10.40 pm. When I checked that one a few minutes ago it
did exactly the same thing. It reported that the programme had been recorded
on Friday, 19th April from 7.30 PM. to 8 PM. I honestly think this should be
taken up with RNIB because it’s just making a mockery of the whole thing. I
did speak to a man called Walley in the Technical Department but he said they
couldn’t do anything about it. Inh my opinion it’s a major problem, not just a
trivial one. Let me know what you think.
Valerie.

Hi there,
I'm glad it worked to you, and hope you continue to do so.
Yes, sometimes it works for us, but we never find it works if we have a lot of
things to record. Then it really does seem to get in a tangle!
Please let us know if you have any more problems, because I will be interested.

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.

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?
