That was for the home transponder if I understand correctly. What about the channels you're trying to record? More specifically, what about the channels you're trying to record at the time you're trying to record them? All well and good having excellent signal strength and quality on a nice sunny day, what about when it's lashing down with rain and/or windy?But if the wire was messed up would I be getting 90% strength?
and you were also, as I understand it, having issues picking up the recent BBC HD changes. It all does seem to point to some form of (perhaps intermittent) satellite reception issue.Can't tell atm. I'm trying to tune it and it takes a long time searching for satellite signal. I'm sure it did not use to do this.
It's not clear from the scant information how the recordings were set. You stated that "some" were set up on the Foxsat itself but have not stated how the others were set up. If you configure a standard recording on the Foxsat from the EPG then the accurate recording mechanism will be used. The Foxsat will wake up 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of the programme to listen for the EIT p/f packet to indicate that the programme has started and therefore it should start recording. This is a straightforward timer. I've never heard of the Foxsat not waking up to record a programme if the schedule is set correctly. For the recordings where the Foxsat did not wake up, how were those recordings set? Could you see the scheduled recording in the "Schedule" page on the Foxsat interface (NOT the WebIf).the box will not even wake to then not record
Yesterday when I said it was raining it was thus: 90/100 on the ITV3HDAll well and good having excellent signal strength and quality on a nice sunny day, what about when it's lashing down with rain and/or windy?
It is scant because I don't remember which was which. I set them in both ways. Might be that the non awake one was set on webif or rsIt's not clear from the scant information how the recordings were set.

In which case my suspicion would be that the Foxsat was not rebooted between setting the recording via the WebIf/rs and the scheduled recording start time (minus 15 minutes for accurate recordings) and therefore the Foxsat had no knowledge of the recording at all.It is scant because I don't remember which was which.

See The Godfather thread.They've all been e4, e4+1 or other C4 related channels that have been set to series record via the box and have been working ok for ages, went wonky recently and seem to have started working again. C4 have been having issues with empty schedules and I put it down to that.
