Record button doing strange things....

Post by pcollingwood » Mon Nov 12, 2012 05:45

Well, one strange thing:
Pressing it while watching a program brings up the normal menu, and seems to work fine, but...

Pressing it in the epg does nothing at all. It used to mark a program for recording but not now.

I have looked through all the menu items to see if there is something I/wife/kids have unchecked something but there is nothing obvious.

Firmware version 350.

The EPG code can get itself into some sort of internal knot.

Swapping views (red button) can sometimes clear the problem. But a power cycle/reboot is a wise choice when the firmware gets itself knotted like this.

Hi Pete,

Alternatively can you check what the setting is for the SETUP > Misc. > PVR > EPG Action option. This controls how some of the buttons work in the EPG view. I didn't think the setting this to "Set Timer" so that OK controls timer setting would turn off the REC, PLAY and STOP buttons but I haven't checked this out in a very long time.

EDIT: I just checked this out and setting "Set Timer" does *NOT* disable the other three recording control buttons. What happens if you restart your unit?

Regards,
Ian.

Re started the BW and now it works. To be fair, it is rarely turned off so this is not a great big deal!
