This happened with me after one of the software upgrades, a later
upgrade fixed it. Hopefully the next upgrade will fix your problem. (I
believe the latest upgrade is to be re-broadcast on 8 - 12 January).

Is there a list anywhere of the history of bugs fixed / features added in
the various software versions, there is
http://www.riscthis.net/pacetwin/bugs.html but it only lists problems with
the 1.7.55 version, it'd be useful to see what that has fixed from the
factory version.

Thanks, I was hoping it might be something like that - I wouldn't like to make
a recording while I was away and then have the box stay on for a week
cosidering the temperature it runs at!

I shouldn't worry. The blooke at Pace said it was OK to leave it on all the
time.

BTW My box doesn't get very hot, lightly warm

in a hifi rack, sharing a shelf with a powered SCART switch. Spose it
might bet hotter if it lived in a TV cabinet etc..
