Is there a common link to what you were trying to record?

We tried to record a Michael Palin series and that failed. We guessed that it had been "locked" so they could sell the DVDs.

You can see where this suggestion is going .....

No there wasnt a link - the only thing I could think of was because of the weather we have had blips of no Satellite Signal being received.I've tried phoning SKY but I was on hold for ages.

Thanks for your answer tho!!
I had the same sort of thing, part of my LNB was working, I swapped the two wires for the other two which wasn't being used and now it works fine. :)

Cheers for that nub -I'll run that by my husband tomorrow - cos I am thick:)
I found this was due to the cheapo flaky standard hard disk, I used to have this problem on a weekly basis.

Replaced my hard disk six months ago - never a problem since. www.komplett.co.uk for a disk, more info here
