I did what I originally suggested by locating repeats and changing the options to 'new only'. Of course you have to make sure that the repeats are being shown on the channel that new episodes will shown. However, having loaded a couple of dozen shows like that I was exploring other options and saw 'high contrast mode'. As I was finding the guide screen a bit washed out I decided to give that a go and I saw that this would require a restart, so I did that.
After rebooting all my currently scheduled recording disappeared! I had to inout them again and, because I couldn't review the 'future' ones, I felt I had to input those again too!
This morning my wife found that the box froze every time she accessed a certain menu, though everything else was OK. Eventually a message appeared suggesting a reboot, so I did this again and I now can't turn the box on! It's running, I can hear it, but the red light stays on. A message appears on the screen saying I need to turn the box on but I can't. It doesn't respond to either the on screen button via the remote, nor the button on the box. Strangley, the on screen button DOES respond to my old TV remote (it blips) - but still nothing actually happens.
If I ever get it working I suspect I'll have to load up my recordings again, and will again be faced with the dilemma that I won't be able to see all of them. For now I've given up as I haven't got the time to spend on it. I have unplugged the box so it doesn't overheat and I'm just using freeview on the TV for now.

My lord what a disaster, time to get the tec out
