The 'problem' is with a 'feature' of the DVD recorder but the source is with the Sky (normal) box.
If the DVD recorder detects no signal it will pause a manual recording, or cancel a timed recording.
Sometime when the Sky box switches channels (usually free to air ones) normally with the remote or for a reminder the screen can go black with just the blue bar at the bottom for quite a few seconds. At this point the DVD recorder sees this as no signal and will cancel the current timer recording.
If this happens right at the end of a recording not a problem something I have set to record an 1hour gets recorded for 58 minutes and some seconds normally BUT if it happens at the start then the whole thing gets missed.
Anything I can do?
