Hi Ian.
Ah, I hadn't thought of that. I will certainly try it.

Hi Valerie,
The Coronation Street recording for 06:25 this morning is the ITV2 repeat of
last night’s episode. If the TVOnics box fails to record a programme it
will automatically look for a repeat and record that instead.
Have you tried setting a recording for a programme on ITV2 rather than ITV1
to see what happens.
The list of “Timers” only shows programmes that are due to be recorded. To
view the programmes that have been recorded you need to press the “Library”
button.
Regards.
Ian

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?
