HI all. I am quite new to the v+ (about 3 weeks).
I have set several programmes to series record. Tonight, for the first time since it started, I'm a celebrity get me out of here didn't record. I have checked and the series record instruction is still there so hasn't accidentally got deleted. There was another programme recording at about the same time and in addition I had live tv on pause. Does having the tv on pause stop one of the two recordings from starting?
Secondly, when browsing the tv guide I have noticed episodes of programmes that I have set to series record(i.e. Aircrash Investigation, Torchwood and a few others) aren't set to record and I have had to set series record again. I currently have 3 instances of Aircrash Investigation and 2 of Torchwood in my planned series records. Looking at the details by pressing the "i" button they aren't ones that I have already seen.
As a last question (sorry) and probably off-topic (forgive me) how far should I be sitting back from a 40" lcd tv as I don't feel the picture is that good often and wonder if I am too near to it- As an example Ant and Dec's faces are a little pixellated sometimes!

Thanks for reading.
