Is anyone else having a problem recording Doctors on BBC1 at 13:45 SD? Monday's recording stopped after 5 minutes, today (Tuesday) it managed 10 minutes. I was playing a recording at the time but no other activity.

Problem with Doctors on BBC1

At least two reports of the same on Digital Spy (4 min and 9 min claimed so not you) 
Albeit one was on 106 HD and "prior to the changes" then on 101 BBC One South HD.
If so that likely points to a playout "error" on all BBC Ones?
NB likely important to note the BBC One Region/Nation as well as SD/HD if, for example, a late opt back might be the cause if anyone reports the issue to them?

Both freeview and freesat affected, the 4/9 minute report on Digital Spy being for freesat.

So a "simple" BBC ONE Playout error. (Yet again).
OP
Please forgive my ignorance but what is a "late opt back"?
BBC region studios opt into and out of the network sustaining feed seamlessly. Thus you get the local presenter able to be inserted into the 6 O'Clock News with a 'local headline, coming up later' type bit...
They should opt back at the end credits/trails and usually do so.
Once upon a time the circuits all went through the regional studios. Now, I understand, the switching is done remotely in the Code & Mux centres, but under local studio control, and sound/pictures will be mixed in their studio control rooms at times.
It's possible that any opt into or back to network might disrupt a transport stream? I was 'thinking out loud'. But other evidence now points to the Network Playout being at fault, so now a very red herring.
(In olden analogue days one could sometimes observe a timing issue where the picture shifted when the region opted the studio in/out).

Thanks, it is interesting to have a bit of insight into how things work. As regards the recording problem; everything has been OK for the last two days.
