I have a Bush BTU500DTR (rebadged Wharfedale) with a Topup TV card slot, (TUTV software version 7.09).
Never subscribed to TUTV.
Prior to TUTV going bust, the box was working perfectly, no lockups, no lost recordings, or other problems.
I made use of the 14 day guide and added padding to recordings. The LPS (Low Power Standby) worked well, the HDD would spin down and the box was barely warm to the touch in standby.
Since TUTV ended things have changed.
Now have to use the 8 day Freeview guide.
1. LPS no longer seems to work. HDD continues to spin in standby, and the box is much warmer to the touch above the HDD.
2. Lost count of the number of lockups. Will not come out of standby using remote or standby button on box. Power down/up is only solution.
3. Some recordings which should last an hour or more end up being 1 minute long. Only happened 2 or 3 times.
4. Recorded a program on Ch 5 (used series option) and ended up with 3 copies of the same program, Ch 5, Ch 5+1, and 5+24. Never happened before.
Has anyone had the same or similar on their TUTV enabled box since the demise of TUTV?
