    Stuck RMA

    I have one where this has happened to the front USB port. My suspicion is that there is a regulator with a faulty cap similar to the problem that stops hard disks from operating. I suspect that they have used an identical circuit block in several places (HD, front USB, rear USB) so that they can...

    Failed recordings

    I also get 0 length recordings periodically, and haven't been able to ascertain a reason. It happens on both TV and radio.

    Driving and Roads

    I much prefer the interior mirrors where you flip a little lever to tilt the mirror and leave a plain glass at the angle that lets you look out the rear. I find the "automatic dipping" mirror in my Mondeo never seems to dip at the right time.

    EPG Error – How Do They Do It (Quest)

    I always wonder what sort of annual review the people who do this work get. It can't be 'top of their game' surely.
