cooperlola Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yesterday I had problems recording Channel 4 progammes through my Sky box. I thought I had solved the problem by changing to another recorder but have just encountered the same problem with something I tried to record this afternoon. Has anybody else suddenly encountered this? Maybe they could give it a go. It did not happen in the late evening - only during the day. Have C4 suddenly put record protect on their satelite channels? There is not mention of this on their web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Just in case anybody else has been having this trouble, I have just had a reply from Channel 4 to say that this is a technical problem with Sky and that they are onto it. Don't know at this stage how long it will last though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 The evening (Without a Trace) worked fine although I'd been unable to record during the day. Same happened yesterday in the day time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, no onscreen message...NEW EDIT: the 30mn program taped with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Tee hee!All repaired and working fine now. Must admit I wondered for a moment if this was a "shape of things to come" thing and that they were going to start record protecting programmes. But they assured me this was not the case.
