My SA managed to record Doctor Who twice tonight.;)

Same here Masque.

Although I have several of the programmes already mentioned in this thread set to series record I have, until last night, had no doubling up of recordings. I joined the the gang last night with Dr Who. :( I do hope this is just a glitch.

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

Spiderplant has already stated earlier in this thread thaat it is a software glitch that should be sorted with a future update.

My box has not done this for weeks.

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

Fingers crossed my doubling-up was part of Spiders software glitch. It just seems strange that this is the first time it's happened on our V+. I don't want to loose my old V+. :(

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

Sorry, missed this one earlier. The double recordings are caused by an error in the EPG data that is broadcast. Swapping the box won't fix it.

Just delete either of the unwanted recordings. You can remove one of them from Planned Recordings if you happen to notice them before they have recorded.

Casualty recorded twice at the weekend on my Sammy V+

No harm done just really annoying! lol.

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

Yuk! Lots more questions....

You mentioned Virgin1 in the original post. Does it only happen on Virgin1 assets?
If you watch the same one twice, does it lock up at the same place?
Can you give me an example asset that does it, and tell me the time that it locks up?
When it locks up, does the counter in the front of the box also stop?
Do you have a Samsung or SA box?

ps to mods. Please can this be moved back to the other thread, as it's unrelated to the duplicate recordings? :)

My SA V+ managed to record (or said it had and I know it's not possible) to record the F1 on Sunday 4 times! Although it did say it was the Formula 1 that had been recorded, on playback it hadn't recorded what was on BBC 2 but what was on BBC 1. It managed to record Eastenders twice as the other 2 records were corrupt!! A little annoying but glad we have iPlayer :)

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

I had 4 recordings of Eastenders a few days back. By the time I found it 3 had 'completed' and 1 was still going at 3 hours later!

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

You've Been Framed was down to record twice on Saturday (two differently named programmes however) and nearly failed to record Dr Who...that wouldn't have been popular lol!

Anyone else getting this?
 

I have 2 V+ boxes and both seem to have a mind of their own.

I too get muliple recording on several channels but even worse one box records programs I never asked for?

These 'extra' recordings quickly fill up the 80 hours allowed and its a daily battle to get rid of them.

I also get quite a few programs split into 2 as others have reported.

The biggest problem is that after deleting some recordings they reappear in a an hours or so but this time they show zero length and "NOW" next to them.

Any ideas how to get rid of them permanently?
thanks

Re: Anyone else getting this?
 

The only way as far as I know is to format the hard drive. This will remove all recordings and all series links though.

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

I have two recordings of DIY SOS, the first from last November. I delete them daily, but they keep coming back with 'Recording Now' next to them. I can even watch them right through...
Spooky?

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

Sounds like you may need to format the hard drive, you can call support for help or follow the instructions in this thread.

Re: Doctors records twice & Neighbours fails
 

My 4 week old Samsung is duplicating programmes. Tonight, Emmerdale (HD) was recorded twice. Top Gear would not set to record because of a "conflict". Although I had no other programmes set to record at that time.
