If I leave the Humax on BBC1 for a while the EPG gets fully populated, i.e through to next Wednesday. Switch to ITV1 and chunks of it go missing. So I guess there's still something amiss on the D3&4 mux's data stream. Edit: HD MUX seems to be OK as are the other 3 muxes.

The now/next data seems to be still wrong on the D3&4 mux, i.e. ITV1, C4, 5 etc, which is what is screwing up any AR recordings. I have been recording with padding since Friday. The synopsis, schedule times etc are still wrong (see below) but the recording's content is OK. Edit: Comments...

Looks like the now/next info is out of wack on PSB2/D3&4 MUX but fine on the BBC MUX and others. Edit: BBC News at One just failed to start!!! Am I right in thinking the start/stop for AR is determined from the now/next info?

On the machine I did a factory reset on this morning I did a manual tune for the MUXes on Crosspool, Sheffield. Edit: I have checked and I'm using the correct channel numbers, i.e 21, 24, 27, 39, 42 & 45 As far as I can tell machine is shutting down correctly i.e. disk off, network off...

I have switched over to padding for non-BBC channels as my test with Dark Knight Rises recorded OK last night. Still don't understand why Frasier started recording this morning when I brought it out of half-awake?

'Frasier' failed to start but started recording when I touched the front power button to bring the machine to fully awake!

Will give that a try. Recording Scheduled Frasier on C4 at 9:40. Machine now in standby.

Machine woke up into 'half-awake' and never started recording. The same machine recorded Question Time on BBC1 OK.

All Creatures on 5 and 2 films on Film4 also failed last. Recordings from BBC channels all recorded.

Anyone else getting failed recordings using AR on ITV1? The Hack failed yesterday and I spotted in time to schedule it from ITV1+1 but that failed too. Pride of Britain has failed to start tonight. Switched to padding for Dark Knight Rises later tonight and see if that works as a temporary fix.

Looks like the elves have been tinkering again at Freesat (or wherever it gets done) as a block of channels has gone missing on my Foxsat-HDR 145 - Really 146 - Quest Red 147 - DMAX 148 - Food Network 149 - HGTV 150 - Quest 151 - Quest +1 152 - Quest Red +1 153 - DMAX +1 154 - Food Network +1...

Thanks for the advice. I'll get some isopropyl and give it a go.

Hi Folks I have a Finepix HS50 which I haven't used for a while. All the rubberised bits on the body have gone sticky. The rubber bits on the lens barrel are OK. Does anyone have any suggestions as to if/how I can remove the stickiness?

Hi Folks Looks like the Legend and True Crime channels have gone the same way as the U&xxxx channels. Whilst flipping through the channels tonight they were coming up as 'scrambled or not available'. I applied the same technique, delete the offending channels and Freesat tune, and they...

What about NATO written as Nato? Seen on BBC News quite regularly.
