This service is not available whilst 2 recordings are in progress

I got the new epg and everything was working ok.
Today in the morning I tried to add manually a sky digital channel.
From the moment I did press select all sorts of problems began...
In a nutshell I lost the channels and on top of it I get no satellite signal message...
I entered the hidden menu and set the default transponder to 11778V and then from the add channels the same. I got the listing back but the no satellite signal message remains.
I don't think there is anything wrong with my sat dish because even under torrential rain I had signal.

I tried to change the default transponder to 12129V. I entered again the menu and I did change it. Then I went to add channels to add the 12129V and press find channels.
And I got a strange message: FYI, this service is not available whilst 2 recordings are in progress.

But there are no recordings in progress.
I went to check the signal quality and a couple of minutes before was above 50% and now it was very low, only 1 bar...
I am sure my satellite dish setup is ok, unless my lnb got water.

I should not forget to add that I have only 1 feed connected, dish input 1 and it was working flawlessly. In the new EPG I noticed in the hidden menu that there is single feed mode and it is off, Should I turn it on?

Should I perform a sky+ rebuild? Why do I get a "this service is not available whilst 2 recordings are in progress" message since there is no recording in progress when I press find channels in the Add channel menu?

Thank you all in advance for any idea, suggestion or recommendation.

Issue solved with a system restore...

Glad you are sorted but what do mean by system restore, do you mean switching off and pressing backup until 3 lights appear?

Or do you mean rebuilding the planner?

Well in the hidden menu there is sky+rebuild and SysRes which may mean system reset and not restore as I wrote...

I thought to start from sky+ rebuild since I was getting the message about 2 recordings in progress but went for more radical measures...

I did not know about backup button pressed for 3 secs... why all these things are not in the blue sky manual?

Topper

Who knows, but be careful and absolutely sure you are on the correct default transponder as this replaces the firmware with the latest version

Just a small clarification. The backup button pressed for 3 secs has the same effect as the System reset from the hidden menu?

The default transponder was 11778V. After the new epg came, the transponder remained the same and it worked fine.

The whole trouble started in the morning when I tried to add manually an already existing channel...

Learnt my lesson though. I am not touching anything again...
But it's not totally my fault...
