  Recordings cut short
  
  Yes padding disables AR. Yes the daily briefings have failed a lot of recordings. Recordings are made at the scheduled time adjusted by padding settings. Box no longer wakes up early to watch for AR start recording signal. Yes AR will affect all set series recordings.

  FVP5000T Can't access itv, all4, ch5 catchup
  
  It came up on a search. It started to install. The box shut down and would not respond to the remote. I pulled the power and restored it. It came back up with the installing screen. This was then OK and the install completed. After the box rebooting all the on demand services were working.

  Which recordings take the most space?
  
  Vbr increases the bitrate when there is a lot of rapid movement. Statmuxing will pinch bandwidth from channels on the same mux with less demanding content. To see this you would need to look at the other channels on the same mux. Basically every mux has a maximum bitrate. This is shared...

  HDD not recognised on wake from sleep
  
  The drive is too fast for the sata controller in the Foxsat. You should have used a Seagate pipeline drive. You need a jumper fitting to pins 5 & 6 to make the drive SATA 2 compatible. Seagate drives make the adjustment automatically

  Matters not a sod. Neither platform has ever broadcast 720p. In fact true 720p has a higher bitrate than 1080i because it's 50 fps. Your post was complete rubbish. The encoder remarks re the BBC apply equally to Freeview and satellite.
