Sky + hd recording problem

Hi

We have sky+ hd and we seem to have problems recording programmed, particularly HD channels. I have set series record for programmed e.g. The Borgias, but unless I start watching the programme and then select record, it doesn't record.

Haven't spoken to sky yet but that is a job for the next couple of days.

Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem, thought it was just my box that was at fault ...now I see it isn't so I will be contacting Sky today.

  • Do you have a Thomson HD box, by any chance? We had to have an engineer out a couple of weeks ago, he took one look at our Thomson box and said they all had a fault and needed to be swapped over, so he switched it for a newer and smaller Amstrad box and that works perfectly.

    I don't think so. I have looked at the box and can't see Thomson written on it anywhere
