When you say that you have tried restarting the recorder, was that just using the button on the remote, or did you actually remove mains power from the PSU? The latter sometimes sorts problems out.

Oh dear, I can’t offer anything else but to say that, although I don’t use Netflix, I pressed the button and the banner opened up as I would expect to see.

When you say that the remote is fine, have you checked that the power button flashes when you press Netflix? Individual buttons can fail, so the rest might be fine, but not that one. Also, have you tried it from the Players tab after pressing the Freeview Play button (red F)?

I am talking about the settings in “PVR Settings/Recording Options”. I have both Start Padding Time and End Padding Time set to Auto. (See also Post 6) I am assuming this what others are referring to as AR. Edit: The accuracy of the start/stop on auto may not be so good on some of the lesser...

I have used the automatic settings for recording start/stop for several years and very rarely have had any issues. I would suggest that you do not use fixed padding as it will inevitably cause problems, as you are finding. I even have a string of 4 consecutive programmes on BBC2 every Monday...

I would say that, unless Alexa is somehow capable of replicating all the correct infrared control codes for the 5000T, then the answer is no.

I suspect that this may be at the heart of it, in that this mistake was made when setting up the recording (especially if brian5856's mind was really on their travel arrangements). Just because it is a series does not mean it will run a series recording unless you tell it to do so,

That doesn't sound very surprising considering the many daft responses from Humax that have been reported over the years.

I don't think so. I use a Power Timer for 20 minutes around 0700 set to BBC1 HD and daily. I have been recording the Portillo programmes as a series on my 5000T and they have worked correctly, so it would appear not to be anything to do with the transmitted information, but probably something...

If you are going by what the schedule list shows, bear in mind that until one episode in a series has recorded, the next will not show there, even if it is in the guide. Looking in the guide will show both/all as programmed and will record.

Don't forget that if you are going to do a full retune, it is wise to photograph your Schedule list first. Also, deleting Ch 101 from the channel list first may help.

This tape

Yes that is true.

You use the “F” button on the remote and at the top scroll to “Settings” which you select with OK. Scroll down to Channel Settings and select “Signal Test”. That will display the Signal Strength and Quality for any tuners in use, along with the UHF channel number(s) and frequencies. If you...

Agreed. To make sure, I have just read through the manual as well and there is no mention of it there either.
