Hello,
ITV HD, Channel 4 HD and Channel 5 HD series recordings never work. They do the first one, but not the rest. Its like you've programmed a single recording. Have three Freesat boxes that all do the same. Series schedual recordings for SD versions of these channels work and the BBC HD channels work.
I've had this issue on Freesat for years actually, but worked around it so never got myself together enough to ask for any opinions. Then read a comment in another thread (didn't make a note of which, sorry) that made me think maybe it's self inflicted and there is an easy fix. I had assumed it was a Freesat problem, given all my boxes do it, but then why are others here not reporting the same difficulty?
My set up has one Freesat HDR waking up at 8am and going to sleep at 11:30pm. Set to the Freesat info channel 999 for minimal buffer activity (is this my downfall).
A second Freesat HDR wakes at 7pm and then sleeps at midnight, again on Freesat info 999.
A third that is used to playback recordings from boxes one and two. So doesn't spend much time playback live broadcasts.
The comment I saw said something along the lines Humaxs left on one channel for extended periods can have schedual recording problems.
My current plan, as Freesat HDRs one and two are installed together without a connected TV, is to to take a screen to them and program some reminders each day to switch channels every few hours.
Before I build up a sweat or do myself an injury carrying a TV to them, can anyone say off the top of their heads if I'm on the right track?
Incidently why on the WebIF or RS portal can you not make a manual reservation for a reminder, just a recording? That applies to both Freesat HDR and HDR T2.
Thank you for reading.
