Hope you guys can shed some light...

I have a Panasonic DMR-BWT840GZ, and its really awesome recorder/player and I'm really pleased with it.

However, one thing I cant understand - say for example its set up to record the six pm news on TV1.  Some days it will record Channel 1 with its HD and 5.1 output, then othertimes quite randomly it will record the + 1 hour verson which is obviously in SD etc.

No idea why and its not as if there are 3 programmes trying to be recorded and its a clash.  Ive tried cancelling the series link and re-adding - but same thing happens.....sometimes +1.

Same thing is happening with Mrs Dastardly's Aussie Masterchef - sometimes the on time HD version and other times its the +1 hour......it appears to be totally random..

Anyone else affected?




I don't want no sugar in it - thank you very much

Other recordings overlapping with the HD program times?




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

PIcking up the +1 is a fail over "feature" of the Panasonics, if it misses a scheduled record start time for some reason and the programme is repeated later

 

 

Try having a hunt through the scheduled programmes, ("prog/check" on the remote,) and see what programmes it is expecting to record , that might throw some light on it

If you don't want to record the +1 channels, hide the channels in Setup >> Channel list.
