Mines doing this, a lot more recently. Had same SA box for 2-3 years or so and not really had much go wrong with it.
Get clash alerts and find that its trying to record twice on Planned progs, (someone mentioned Ashes to Ashes, I too had probs with that programme, weird.)
I also ended up with four successful recordings (I checked them all, they played fine,) all showing slightly different times of the same episode of Doctor Who, last Matt Smith one. I came home halfway through and the box was recording 3 times, (3 red spots instead of 1/2, I didnt think that was possible and its happened before, but someone mentioned they do have 3 tuners.)
Also progs get 'stuck' on my hard drive and are showing 0hr00 whether successfully recorded or not. (I have 3 like that, not takin up any space of course but just annoying that they hang around and dont go! I could delete em every day, theyre back like a bad penny next day!) Was also told it would need formatting to get rid of these, but thats difficult getting an engineer round at same time as you DONT have about 5-8 pages of very important viewing to watch as of course youd lose it all!
I watched or deleted every programme from recordings a few months ago, and capacity was only reading 78 instead of 80 hrs and of course the 'stuck' progs still came back!
