Okay thanks for the info.
I will report back in a few days if there have been any more issues with recordings as it doesn't seem there is an explanation for what I have been experiencing with playback or recordings. Hopefully turning off auto-unprotect has fixed it though time will tell.
What is the advantage of turning it off at the wall? What does this do to prevent crashes that putting it into standby and therefore rebotting it when turning it back on does? Thanks.
Then I reboot the box at least once a day if not multiple times as the box is put into standby. It has not however been turned off at the plug for several months, if not years.
No recordings made since turning off Auto-unprotect have had the issue yet, though there have only been 5 or so...
When you say rebooted do you mean put it into standby and back on after leaving it a few minutes or turn off at the plug and turn it back on after leaving it a few minutes?

I completed the Auto-unprotect process a while ago but since completing it I have been having a lot of my recording that have recorded either prior to or post starting the Auto-unprotect process come up with a message of "The channel is scrambled or not available" when I attempt playback of the...
I would say they are clear(er) when you know about them and have some understanding of what they are there for but tbh I didn't have a clue what they were for as I hadn't seen any mention of 'Auto-Processing' and hadn't put 2 and 2 together and realised they were linked to the decryption...
Thanks for answering those questions, much appreciated. I have turned off the backup setting and changed the processing hours to work when I know the box won't be in use and I have also gone through and done a quick clear out of some old recordings that have sat on the box for ages which won't...
Thank you both for the replies, very much appreciated.
It was just my lack of knowledge thinking it may happen. Thank you for clearing that point up.
So the items in the wastebasket, are these encrypted original files?
So the (basic understanding) process of decrypting is:

Hi,
I have recently installed the custom firmware and one of the packages I have installed is Auto-unprotect. I have done a lot of reading on the forums etc about it before installing it and starting the process.
I started it last night using Method 2 (WebIF-mediated auto-decryption) and it...
I have finally had chance to get the amplifier and install it this evening. I opted for the Proception 4 Way Variable Masthead Amplifier and Power Supply (which is powered from the lounge). I got it from CPC who did me a great price.
I am unsure at what level I should set the variable gain to...
Many thanks for that. I will look at adding it to my box then if it is unlikely to be an issue, just a matter of finding time to do it now.
On 24 hours in A&E last night there was a bloke who had gone up on the roof to fix something, by the sounds of it had no safety equipment. Slipped...
Thanks for the input Slade2 - I did notice the retune, mainly because all my scheduled recordings vanished, so I did retune my box to just Sutton Coldfield as we also pick up some weaker signals from Waltham but the issues had begun prior to this and I had hoped this might have fixed it but it...
Hahaha - nope not a H&S inspector but having seen someone fall from a ladder I prefer not to take chance now ;) as for getting someone to foot the ladder, I used to get someone to do that but got fed up with them not paying attention or just resting one foot on the ladder while chatting to a...
Many thanks again for the replies and sorry for not replying sooner due to time constraints. Also I appreciate I am 'faffing' around with all this and not just cracking on but I like to get a good understanding of things before doing anything and I have gained a huge amount of knowledge from the...
Thank you Graham - it seems if I am understanding correctly the suggestions to date are either the option you suggest:
1. Vision V20-22056 Two Way 8-20dB Variable Gain Masthead Amplifier With Antiference Power Supply Kit...
Thanks for the replies and the advice, to be quite clear I appreciate the advice, I am taking it on board and trying to act on it but it seems I am either misunderstanding what people are telling me or that what some people are saying is not correct.
To clear up a few points:
The reason I...
Sorry for not replying to all your useful comments sooner.
I am continuing to get clear TV pictures but I shall keep the current set up for a few more days just to be sure before reintroducing the splitter. It is a pleasure being able to watch TV without breakups again!
Many thanks for...
Thanks a lot for all the replies. I have had a very enjoyable weekend of watching clear TV pictures, there continues to be no break up in the pictures (this is with the splitter and the booster removed and the cable joined where the splitter was by a straight inline connector.) I plan to carry...
