Doesn't matter what is or isn't broadcast. My question is over what might happen when its broadcast in SD, on a channel that changes to HD. Can the VM boxes cope with the change in resolution/format?

Performing tests, so should know soon. Also set up tests for end of the days programmes, where it should change from HD to SD.


I'm not trying to state it as fact, just raising the question of whether it might be the cause of the recording issue.
