"Homeland" end wrong on Freeview?

Mmm. That not only didn't work, but the recording didn't work at all!

This morning I booted the Foxsat HDR, selected Media and 'Homeland'.
The 'i' bitton confirmed the episode date, channel (4-Seven) and time,
and precis of the episode.

But what was *played* was a documentary about some woman called Louise
Wedderburn who had a rare genetic disorder, followed by 'Grand Design',
both contrary to the Radio Times and the Foxsat's EPG.

It's too much for it to be a coincidence that this siuation was
connected to adding 5 mins to the ending time in the Schedule
entry, so I won't try doing that again!

According to the episode precis (and internet):

"Brody finds himself a prisoner again, but this time on American soil.
Carrie is forced to play 2nd fiddle after her rash judgement call
at the hotel, while Estes is kept busy making sure that Jessica stays
off their trail.
Meanwhile, Dana's relationship with Finn is taken to the next level,
changing from fun to deadly serious."

What did I miss?!

Somewhere there is a setting that changes the end time of all recordings
to be so many minutes longer than the EPG time.

Yes, but I don't want *all* recordings to be affected, because that hinders
overall back-to-back recording.

I had exactly the same without doing any 'padding'.

I assumed that there had been a last minute schedule change or the wrong
programme was transmitted.

Oho! Presumably that was only on 4-seven.
Anyway, I've now reverted to recording the Ch.4 broadcast at 9pm.

The other odd thing about the Homeland 'series rec' was that the entry in
Schedule had disappeared!

I can now see what happened. The 4-Seven Homeland repeat has been shifted from
23:05 Sunday to 21:00 MONDAY!
Last Sunday the RT hadn't picked up that change in its 9pm Ch.4 section, but
it has for this coming weekend...

Anyone else losing the end of "Homeland" on 4HD? Both first and second
episodes cut off (on a Humax HDR-Fox T2) before the end of the program.
Unamusingly the repeat later in the week did exactly the same thing.

I was amazed to see this - Yes it happened to me but my machine is a
TVonics. I got round it by D/L the relevant episodes from Pirate Bay.

It also happened when I recorded one of Ian Hislop's "Stiff upper lip"
episodes.


recording on sky+ 4HD also refused to start until i played around with
the R switch a few times

Though that does work, an unexpected side effect is that the Schedule
'series' entry DISAPPEARS after the recording!
So have to keep re-requesting the next recording every week.

Anyone else found that? Surely that's a bug (Humax Foxsat HDR)

It's not a bug. It's a feature.

When you edit an entry in the schedule to change either the start or end
time it becomes a manually-set timed recording. You lose any connection
with the series or with transmitted start and stop signals for the
programme.

There is a bug in that the details for the recording in the edit pop-up
still says "Repeat: Series" after you have adjusted one of the times.
However as soon as you press OK to store the edited details the series
symbol is removed from the entry in the schedule. If you press Yellow
again to see the details the "Repeat" data has changed to "Once"

You can set it to repeat Daily/Weekly/whatever by selecting the desired
frequency from the available Repeat values.

Ah, yes! Would have been better if they had flashed the 'Once'...

frequency from the available Repeat values.

I now understand that - though 'Series' is not available.
Still, Weekly is, which is OK for e.g. Homeland.

Thank you, Peter!
