Problems with PVR recording of Channel 4 programmes

Is any one else having problems with their PVR and recording of Channel 4 programmes?

I have a Panasonic Freeview PVR and up until the last month or so, have not experienced any problems recording. But now, it's infuriating!

I set a programme on Channel 4 series link to record, e.g. Grand Designs, and the PVR later changes the recording from the Wednesday 9pm slot to Channel 4/7 11pm slot or later. It does this with other channel 4 programmes too.

I checked the signal strength on C4 and 4/7 and the C4 signal strength is much stronger, so that can't be the reason for the glitch.

:mad:

I had a similar problem with a Humax recently when it wouldn't record BBC1 when set on the timer. Did a re-set, not sure what uou call it, but it's when you do a complete new search for stations. It solved it.

Thanks Ewan.

BBC1 also plays up and records BBC Wales instead of West. Maybe a complete rescan might help.

Like Ewan I had a similar problem with my Humax but for me it was BBC 4. I could watch BBC 4 and manually record but scheduled recordings failed.

A re-tune of the box sorted it out.

I think it started when they moved some of the channels around although BBC4 wasn't one of them.
