I receive 'failed recording has been detected' emails daily until I cancel them via the warning signs which appear on the RS website. They are always for previous programs. This is the email I received today: If you mean this warning, then that's what I've not been receiving, up until today...

Hi How do I prevent 'failed recording has been detected' emails being sent when there is no red box warning to cancel it? I had a two program clash which I cleared in the 'Visual Schedule' page. The remaining programs recorded as expected. I didn't receive the usual 'red box' acknowledgment...

Hi What is the purpose of ITV3+1 & ITV4+1? Its usefulness has gradually diminished. Used to have full +1 schedule, then went to having the occasional Midsomer Murder (which hadn't necessarily been broadcast on ITV3). Now it's just 'Programmes start at 4am' & 'Shopping from home.' Is the reason...

Is there a solution in sight, as it's still occurring?

I wish to store all Midsomer Murders episodes in folders of their own respective series. This rule achieves it for series 2: # Midsomer Murders Series 2 filename {Midsomer Murders} synopsis S2 action {movecreate {Midsomer Murders/Series 2}} To avoid creating a rule for all 24 series I thought...

Sorry, but can you please stop with the 'multiple. units'. It's irrelevant to the vast majority of users & confuses what should be a really simple solution.

That's where the (putrid green) notification is, isn't it?

If I don't cancel a failed recording notification I get repeated emails. I know how to delete a failed recording notification. I'm querying why there isn't a hyperlink to the webpage to make cancelling so much easier. Is there a reason a hyperlink can't be added to the email?

Hi In a RS failed recording email, is there reason there's no hyperlink to the RS webpage in order to cancel the notification?

As a short term fix, that's fine, but given how often broadcasters swap channel numbers, using that option isn't really viable.

Hi I had an auto rule to record QI XL except those broadcast on Dave & DaveJaVu. Those channels have been renamed as U&Dave etc. The rule didn't update itself. This is how it's now listed: title {qi xl} !channel {UNKNOWNKEY (undefined)} !channel {UNKNOWNKEY (undefined)} action scheduleseries...

OK, I've set it up as per yours. Is there a way to push it through to test immediately if it's registered, or do I have to be patient & wait for the confirmation email?

Hi For as long as I remember I've had problems scheduling The Sky At Night. These are the four rules I'm using to try & record the program. title {"The Sky at Night"} action scheduleevents title {The Sky at Night} action scheduleseries title {The Sky at Night} action scheduleevents title {"The...

Hi For the 'reset new flag' command, would it be possible for it to update /all/ child folders as an option on the Video folder when in the media folder and/or a button to perform the same action when in the Video folder. It would a convenience to reset all folders in one go rather than doing it...

I've had the same problem as others with the cycling of the POST sequence about fifteen times before returning to its standby state and the problem evaporating if the HDD poser plug was disconnected. Thanks to @Newcoppiceman's hard endeavours to trace the problem I've now replace the capacitor...
