1. Multiple Failed Recordings
  
  Yeah I've had full normal signal on my HD channel though. Its only the name that has changed. Which I never thought would be affecting my recordings. But it has been.

6. Reasons for a 0 minute recording fail ?
  
  I seem to be getting much more of these lately. Is it always a broadcaster issue or maybe the slow decline of my aging box ? There was one day after the Queen had died where pretty much every recording that day failed.. which after an initial panic I put down the the EPG had just melted down...

  My biggest bugbear with my beloved Hummy is the folder names not being updated/updatable. Example of what I mean... I recorded the first F1 Grand Prix of the year, the Bahrain GP. Now every GP thats recorded is placed in a folder it names "The Bahrain GP". Even if I delete that folder and...

10. Signal - Strength / Quality
  
  It is ARQ-B giving me 30% Although viewing is OK now I have suffered with dropouts in the past and was just looking at it whilst everything is working (rather than trying to figure it out when I have no signal at all) I'm not overly worried, just thought 30% is quite low considering my...

16. Disable recommendations ?
  
  Is there any way to disable the recommendation feature? Where you select something to record and then the box (or specifically Channel 4) 'recommends' something completely unsimilar to record also. Thought there might be a package to do this if it was technically possible.
