Two nights in a row, I have setup the paralympics coverage on TV1 to record. It shows as setup to record. It shows with an (R) once the coverage starts. But it does not show up in the planner at all, either ahead of the time or during the program.

The overnight coverage is about 9 hours and I wonder whether that is the trigger.

Are other people recording this ok?

Me too, just tried to record now and just ignores request, shows in schedule to record though. This has happened to me in the past and i thought might be related to a large number of recordings, im sitting on 90% full for example with probably over 100 recordings.

Ten nights with long single program of overnight Paralympic coverage on TV 1. We checked each day that is was marked to record. We got one recording out of ten days.

Other recordings were fine so I am speculating some sort of systematic problem with long recordings, perhaps related to a preflight check of available disk space. The recording we got only used about 3% but there could be a very conservative estimate of required storage before starting recording.

(I requested help from Sky and got back a very generic reply with, check your remote is not in standby, power-cycle, logout and login again.)

Pure speculation here - might be something related to exclusive licensing rights to TVNZ and not allowing for recording?

You might be able to catch up on the TVNZ on demand app..
