Our transmitter at Oxford caught fire earlier today.
Not a major issue in itself, as rarely watch anything live, but the media center is going radio rental, non stop pop-ups about unable to record due to no TV signal.
Good job they are all her programmes that are failing to record ;D

No problem with Sky :P

Not that you'd notice, what with Sky+'s frequent inability to record whole programmes :P

Our daughter rang earlier, she's having the same problem. She's on the Oxfordshire/Wiltshire border.

Yeah, all services from the mains transmitter are off. Alledgedly fire service has suggested that it may be susceptable to collapse - though that may be local media trying to sensationalise....

I wondered what happened, it went off at about 2.30 I think. I've been out this afternoon and evening, and it came back on at 9.05 just in time to watch Have I got news for you.
So it's back working here.

Nothing has ever failed to record whole program on either of our boxes :)

No, surely not..... ::)
My favourite 'BBC Wales Today' pejorative news quote: "We`re going live to the scene; just how bad is the chaos, Matt?" ;D

Looks like its back. Sigh, back to tedious TV programmes about the current political situation :(

I have add to add 2 mins front and end to try get full recordings and it still cant get it right, this sky system should be better than video plus. Plenty of room for improvement.

unplug it for 30 seconds, first sign of trouble on ours is it looses the red button logo.

Gonna be fun when the analouge signal is turned off, it's going to be like the 50's where every one gathers round to watch the radio.
Only had Shy HD 11 months had 3 losses of singnal allready, one was overnight.

If you Google the problem you may find out how to make it miss the rest as well!!! :D
To maintain balance (ha ha), the Beeb (presumably) consistently mis-report The One Show on Freeview EPG. The programme has always started when the TV goes across.
Not that I'm defending Sky you understand. :D

Eastenders allways seems to have started ahead of its time, are the clocks set properly at the BBc or do they just do what they want when they want.

Not sure how good the freeview EPG is for recording accuracy, as Media Center uses a (seemingly very accurate) guide it regularly downloads from the Internet. Very, very, very rare for it to misrecord or otherwise give grief, virtually all instances have been where there is a last minute change of schedule.

One of the main purposes of EPG is to flag up actual start and end times despite last minute changes to schedules.
They should be fed with info from the transmission automation systems that most broadcasters now use.
Internet feeds would need to be based on deals with the broadcasters if they wanted to come close to emulating that.
My current problem is that my PVR takes pleasure in wiping the digital channels from its memory and subsequently, all the series-linked record lists that get built up over the weeks. >:(

apart from the PDC in the analogue days, yet to see a working one....
MCE only grabs its guide automatically twice a day, iirc, so could never deal with last minute.
From what friends/colleagues have said about their Freeview PVRs (and Sky+ boxes as well), MCE is a damn sight more accurate at getting the whole program...
