Thank you Humax

I lost all my recordings to today because your box (9150T) can't cope with
the clock change.

Why is it that people just can't get this right? It isn't rocket science!
It's a new mode FFS, you've had six years practice!

I bet I get the normal patronising response that I should reset to factory
defaults to fix it!

Do you mean you lost all the recorded material, or just future reservations?

There are some issues with the time change and existing reservations, but
I've never heard anyone losing recordings.

And everyone thought that Freeview Playback was supposed to stop this from
happening.

I lost today's recordings (because it recorded the hour before, not that
they actually got deleted)

There are some issues with the time change and existing reservations,

Why?

As I said, they've had six years to get it right.

And if they know that haven't got it right they should be honest and say so.
I think that I lost the recordings because they were set as "weekly". If
this is the case and I'd been prewarned that they weren't going to work, I
would have made then a once only for this week and gone back to weekly after
the change.

I've never heard anyone losing recordings.

No I didn't mean this, sorry for the confusion.

We set up *two* different PVRs to record the F1 Grand Prix this morning.

One managed to start recording an hour early, the other started an hour
late! :-)

My Toppy is programmed to start 3 min before the recording is due. It also
runs a Tap that switches it off at 5.am

My Humax HDR did not have tuner 2 connected which may account for why it
failed to make a recording.

And in the morning the BBC iplayer would not let me see the 6am version of
the programme

I bought a Toppy a couple of years back, but I still do the
_vast_majority_ of my recordings with my computers (a desktop with a PCI
DVB-T card and a Notebook with USB DVB-T stick). The Toppy is mostly
used by SWMBO ( it was a Christmas present to her) but I'll occasionally
use it myself to resolve 3 way scheduling clashes.

As it is, the Notebook runs 24/7 and is used to resolve 2 way clashes
and recordings scheduled at 'anti-social hours' (eg between 3 am and
midday ;-) and it was this that I used to record the 6am Australian GP.
I don't know if the Toppy fell foul of the DST change, but the Notebook
took it all in its stride, recording from 05:57:30 for a 3 hour 7
minutes time period, exactly on schedule as programmed.

You're certainly justified in complaining about the DST/GMT time
adjustments still cocking up scheduled recording times when a PC
afflicted with a Microsoft OS (in my case win2k) and a windows TV
recording program can get it right.

On Friday I set my HDR to record the F1 (both progs, live and replay) and it
recorded both.

The odd thing though is I also set it to record the Boat Race but it did
not......

And the DVB-T signal should have included the time of the next clock
change for several months, so the box can hardly claim it was a surprise!

I used a Linux box, no need to worry!
