Re: V6 recording stuttering and pixelated

I set the V6 to record the first 13 HD channels one by one. Stuttering on 101 (BBC1 Wales). 102 (BBC2 Wales) and 135 (SkyCrime). I then repeated the test and got the same results.

103 was perfect.

A minor family hiccough meant I could not continue the testing of more HD channels, but should get it done today.

Re: V6 recording stuttering and pixelated

OK, that's so random the only explanation I can think of is that one tuner is faulty, and if it happens to use that tuner for a recording you get the pixellation. You still need a new box.

I'm catching up with 'Randall and Hopkirk (deceased)'. Granted as it was first broadcast in 1970, it's taken me while !

Re: V6 recording stuttering and pixelated

So whilst I keep watching all the Flash episodes, I noticed that it's only recent HD recordings that fail.

So in settings, I turned the option to "record in HD if possible" off.

I then set new programmes to record in both SD and HD (I found I had to set the HD one first or the programme just flipped the SD copy to HD and then deleted it).

But yesterday I noticed all my recordings had been made in HD only, and the SD ones deleted.

Ah well, back to recording and watching in SD until I have binged my eyes to the limit and request a new V6.

Re: V6 recording stuttering and pixelated

The V6 is being a PITA.

I deleted the active series links, set the overall setting to be "never record in HD".

Then I remade the series links to SD channels only.

I check the next day and all the links have been changed to HD channels!

Re: V6 recording stuttering and pixelated

It's all channels and all programmes that I had to set to record in SD. I noticed that the "Record in HD if possible" remains, but is greyed-out.

I switched over to watch a bit of Born on The 4th July on UHD channel last night the stuttering was very bad the film was 1 hour 37 mins into the movie so I gave up after 5 mins

Which channels specifically has this happened on?

I think that's normal for any series link that is set for a specific channel. The option is relevant where the channel is set to "All".

I set to record on the SD channels, but the V6 immediately changes the series link to the HD channel. Most annoying.
