V+ : Recurring failed recording problem

[trublue]

For the past 2 weeks I have had a problem were the V+ box tries to record Desperate Housewives over and over again until I end up with 3 pages of failed recordings,and it's not even on series link any more.So I rang the faults line(10 minutes ago) and the guy said it was not a Virgin problem but the broadcasters,so I asked him if this effects everyone who records the programme and he said yes.So I told him my daughter who lives a 2 minute walk away from me has no trouble with her Sky recordings and then he just ummed and arred and said a £5 credit will be added to your account.On the Recordings page for the channel,it says unknown,then under recording it says failed.Luckily I have'nt got to delete each failed recording,I just click delete on the first one and they all disappear..Has any one else had or heard of this fault.

A HDD format should resolve it,

I had this issue a few times when I had a V+ box,every time I had to format the drive (wipe everything off it) before it would work again properly.
