  Failed Recording of New BBC Four HD Channel
  
  Having had some spare time today I've looked at the possibility of re-generating an nts file on the Humax. Unfortunately on my test HD recording, running ffprobe crashed the Humax (and I tried several times). Running it on an SD file took 25 mins for a 17 minute recording. I wouldn't think it...

  Failed Recording of New BBC Four HD Channel
  
  My recording of Patisserie last night failed on BBC4 HD in the same way. (This was my second attempt, so I recorded in SD as well) I am using auto padding and am on Crystal Palace. I did have the same issue previously with some SD recordings and speculated that it might be possible to re-build...

  HD recordings picture break-up
  
  I've been running without ARBookmarks for a week and haven't had any picture break ups. Could part of this package be running at too high a priority? Or could it be reading the HD files too quickly? The break ups tended to last about 5 seconds only, so I don't know how that relates to the...

  Extracted mpg files do not play nicely on Humax
  
  How are you acessing the files on the Humax? I found with DLNA I couldn't jump ahead in a recording, but using Samba to access the Humax I could.

  HD recordings picture break-up
  
  My box has the 4:30 boot disabled and comes on at 6:00am (to generate thumbnails). It turns itself off when finished. I think on Tuesday it wasn't on long enough for empty_dustbin to run at 6:00am. The next time the box came on was when it started a scheduled recording at 8:00pm. The dustbin...

  HD recordings picture break-up
  
  I'm on the latest version of CF: 2.19. I had thought the previous changes to process priorities had fixed the issue. My HD mux shows 50% strength 100% quality which I thought should be plenty.

  HD recordings picture break-up
  
  My picture break up on HD recordings seems to be coming back. It hasn't been too bad for the past few months. I realize it is probably reception/weather related but it seems suspicious that it is always within the first 5-10 minutes of a recording starting. Looking at the last occurrence it...

  Another retune required
  
  Saving/restoring the schedule and auto deleting the junk channels makes re-tuning much easier. The only thing I remember having to do manually was re-ordering channels (I have the HD channels on 1-4). Would it be possible to save/restore these settings too?
