Can anyone suggest cure for this fault or cause. Whilst watching recorded program the record red light has come on but nothing appears to be recording. Switching of at mains and rebooting doesn't help as red light still comes on even if on standby. Nothing shown as recording on planner either. Receiver is Thompson Sky + 160. Still able to watch all programs and actually record but light refuses to go out. | ||

My System: pace hd 9F3004. fitted with a 65cm triax solid dish. beko 32WLA520HD 32" lcd tv . |
thomson 160 sky+ are well known for the hard drive failing . try a full system reset . go to service press 4,0,1 then select on remote and its the last option see if that helps beware you lose all recordings but it be worth it if it helps | ||
