BBC EPG Data 'stuck'

It seems on DTT all BBC (and HD mux) EPG data is stuck on whatever programmes
were being shown 21:00hrs to 22:00hrs

First sign of trouble was a brand new DTT PVR I'm testing for someone, had two
recordings (one on BBC 4, the other BBC HD) run on past their finish time of
22:00hrs

If I press the 'i' button on any of my receivers, the 'Now' data is the
previous prog. The other muxes are unaffected.

running fine on Craigkelly, and I didn't notice any problems earlier.

It's cleared now, started working again at 22:45 ish. I wonder if it was only
the Meridian region that was affected, and the SI changes being applied for
Rowridge's DSO 1 at midnight tonight ?

Strange things last night on Crystal Palace kept saying things like you are
on the first available program or the last, and yet it was one from an hour
earlier. Most odd.
I suspect something somewhere crashed.

My Vestel-thing recorded Horizon from 9pm and just carried on. It was
still recording 'it' at midnight. The machine wouldn't stop recording or
delete the recording. I watched the programme from 10.30 to 11.30pm with
the machine still recording. Unwilling to leave the machine recording
all night because the drive is almost full I turned it off and turned
the power off overnight. This morning the Horizon recording had
disappeared and oddly the EPG was very much faster to navigate than before.

My PC-based recorder (VDR) also 'stuck' recording Horizon from Sandy.
The recording terminated at 22:39.

Yep, that was one of my recordings that I had to manually stop at 22:10hrs.

So, Yorkshire, Anglia, and Meridian regions, but not Scotland. I'd
hazard a guess it affected all the English regions ?

My Humax Fox T2 "over-recorded" Ch4HD by just over 30 mins. (Mendip)

I receive my signal from the Rosneath transmitter in Scotland and had the
same problem. I had recorded Horizon and when I looked at Recorded
Programmes on my Humax at a bit after 11pm, it showed the recording still in
progress till about midnight. However, when I looked later before midnight
the recording had stopped.

No problem recording on Toppy SD from Winter Hill!

Does your Toppy have the firmware installed to read EiT changes
dynamically (aka Freeview Accurate Record) or just the ability to set
the timers from the EPG, and stick to the published times (at time of
setting) ?

If not, then I wouldn't have expected it to have been affected by the issue.

My Toppy wasn't affected.

TF-NPT-5.13.65T without TAPS.

Yes, same firmware as mine.
