Yeah, I will try that...
BTW, just rebooted it. (there was no other way of stopping it - the show I was watching finished, so it just froze there) This time a recording also crashed. When I rebooted it, it was supposedly still recording, but it wasn't

I'm not sure what you mean by "it was supposedly still recording". You've highlighted the timer for Robbie Coltrane's Critical Evidence/The Double Axe Murderer, but at the time you highlighted it, it shouldn't be recording: the clock at the top of the screen shows 00:45 23 Dec, and the end of the Critical Evidence recording was 00:20 23 Dec.

It's hard to see what the cause is without more information about exactly what the problem is.

My guess is that the recording of Critical Evidence failed because of problems accessing the NAS, then there was a crash, and when the system restarted, if it was before the end of the recording of Critical Evidence, the recording couldn't be restarted because there was still a problem with accessing the NAS.

But that's pretty much conjecture.

On what's shown here, the "Why We Hate" timer ran for longer than it should have - timer: 76 mins, recording: 106 mins - finishing at 00:30.
Perhaps there was a funky time warp?

Yes, even the timers log entries may reveal something.

Yes, though I was thinking of even more basic things, like "Which recording?" and "What was odd about it?"

What I meant was that the front of the V2 said "REC" I couldn't check on the V2 none of the buttons were working. I was waiting for what ever was recording to finish, before turning it off at the back. Eventually, I checked on IceTV, which told me that nothing should have been recording, so I rebooted it. That is when I discovered that Robbie Coltrane's Critical Evidence only recorded for 17 minutes and the other went on too long
Where does one find the timers log?
FWIW, I now changed it to record to the USB drive, and, so far, so good (haven't used it a lot yet)

I'm guessing a frozen front panel. You could've checked on the NAS to see if the recording files were still growing.

That just proves that I have a head like a sieve :oops:
This is what it shows for Robbie Coltrane. No idea what that means

Yeah, not much there - that entry means the start time was adjusted by IceTV to now start at 22:49 (including your pre-padding, the "prepare" time is 20 secs before the timer start, and that's when the tuner is allocated and broadcaster tuned, free disk space is checked, recording file name is allocated). Perhaps the other timer log entries were lost in the big switch-off.

What about the "Why We Hate" timer that ran too long?
