I've had the occasional one. Did about 15 recordings last week (while on
holiday) and one was marked as 'failed' with no reason given.

Sods law - I bet it was the most important one?

I expected it to be, recorded 5 episodes of a proggy(1 a day) because 1 of
them had something I wanted to watch and wasnt sure which one, but the Gods
must have been taking care of me , as the bit I wanted to watch *wasnt* on
the failed proggy but another!

We just had our sky+ box for a few weeks now and have had a number of
failures of different types.

1/ Straight fails (no reason given in info)

I've had a few of these lately, but not enough to seriously worry me.

Strangely enough I don't think I've had any true failures since I
re-initialised the upgraded HD I put in (did a low-leve / zero-fill format
on a PC, due to what must have been a filesystem corruption.

Scratch that, I've had 2 or 3 failed recordings yesterday / day before
yestereday.

And another oddity - last night I found Coronation St recording (never watch
it or record it) - somehow it had magically appeared, and with a _series
link_ to add insult to injury! ;-)

Corrie (series-linked again) dropped off the recording list at some
point today. It was definitely in the list this morning, but by 19:30
this evening it had disappeared. Caught it just in time to keep Mrs.
HVB from slinging the Sky+ box out the window (probably would have
been followed by every other item cabled to it...).

What's up with the series links?!

HVB.
