Sorry to rain on your parade, but that's a terrible idea! They may share the same bandwidth, but they're different LCNs and need to be kept as such!

I have just upgraded to my stuff 5 and I am having some problems with it.

1) If i try to set two times on different channels that overlap, i get a warning message that says "Although it has been set, this timer clashes with active recording(s). You may wish to adjust a recording or this timer to avoid this." What does this mean and why is it occuring? This never happenend with my previous version if my stuff. Handling two timers should be no problem?

2) Sometimes if i stop a recording early it doesn't show up in the archive. It can be found in th e'Toppy' archive however 9 times out of 10 it is 0K in size and useless even though the recorder could have been running for an hour or so. Any ideas?

3) If i leave the unit recording overnight it freezes. This seems to happen several hours after the recording was due to finish. But the display stil shows rec but no of the buttons including power function.

Please help!

I have also noticed this - i assummed (probably wrongly) that it may have something to do with loading the new channel logos ?

i have tried the full power off cycle. but this doesnt provide a long term solution.

I have just got in and again it has crashed. The picture is still there but it is kind of jumpy. The front panel display shows reco even though it should have stopped hours ago. I had left the unit running with a few CTs setup to test it.

After the power restore i check the archive and find nothing has been saved. I check the toppy archive everything is there but the file size is zero.

Am i the only person who is finding mystuff 5 to be so un reliable?

]MyStuff is alerting to you to the fact that it thinks that one of these timers is clashing with a program you are currently recording. The Toppy will allow the timer to be set, but then may complain when it is due to start if it finds itself unable to actually start that recording (as the tuner may already be in use). Are you sure that neither of these two timers are for current programs, and that you are not recording anything that clashes with either of them?

Hi Microkid, I don't think it's MS causing the issue here, it sound like you either have signal issues or something unstable going on. Were you stable on 4.54? If you go back to 4.54 are you stable again? Are you stable without TAPs? If you can experiment we can try and narrow down your problems. If I was you next thing I would do is a factory reset just incase.

Completely sure nothing is clashing other than the two timers overlapping which is when it seems to occur.

just wondering if anyone knows how to do this? or if it's possible?

On my Sky Box, I could set my favourites and then click on the favourites button on the remote and it would scroll through showing me each favourite channel. This was easier than having to go to a list.

sorry if this is the wrong place to post?

I will get back to you on the timer problem.

I have just done a complete factory restore / retune / re install so will see how it goes.

How do i get eit2mei to do a full epg scan? At the moment i only have now and next info. Can i manually make it do a full scan?
