Just logging this for info as I haven't seen anything quite the same reported before.
I'm in the Central Scotland region (STV) and using a HDR FOX-T2 that I acquired secondhand approx 18mths ago.
Yesterday, for the first time, it decided to factory-reset itself and I had to go through the whole setup wizard including retune.
This all occurred on switching on around 5.45pm with the DOI final due to record at 6pm - you can imagine how well-received that was!
Anyroad, got it all re-tuned and set up in time and the recording schedule was still present but DOI recording didn't kick in - lucky we were watching.
It should also have recorded Suffragette later (6.50pm Film4) but that never happened.
After DOI at 8pm I had a look and realised that my LCN preferences were wrong and our weakest mux had not been picked up - so I tuned that manually and re-booted.
Looking better - BBC Four now where I like it (LCN8) and That's TV Scotland booted into the long grass.
At this point I thought all was well and expected Last Tango to record (9pm BBC1) but no - still no recording.
Afterwards, I looked more closely and found a few surprises :-
0min recording for Suffragette - but the box was looking for it on E4
0min recording for Last Tango - box was looking for it on BBC Red Button
Schedule entry for this afternoon for Classic Corrie (I know :-( ) on ITV3 had been replaced by The Saint on ITV4 at the same time - but it was proposing to use the Classic Corrie folder.
WTF?
At this point I decided to recover the schedule backup from Saturday night which got everything looking as it should and, having just checked via RS, Classic Corrie is indeed recording this afternoon.
So, I think all is rosy in the garden once more.
As I said at the start this is just for info - not especially looking for any answers as I know the unwanted factory resets are 'just one of those things'. Just hadn't seen reports of quite so much fallout before.
