Hello all
Try as I might I can not get auto timer to record, I go through the set-up procedure all good, my autotimer shows in the menu but will not record any ideas peeps?

If you watch what's happening, is it actually recording but it's black upon viewing or is nothing actually happening at all on the box when it's due to start?

Nothing happens on the box and it doesn't show in media just autotimer menu, I've never got it to work

Can you manually record or Timeshift?

[Talky12]

Yep to both

When the Autotimer finds something to record the event will appear in the timer list. Can you see a item generated by the Autotimer in the 'timers' list?

How are you setting your Autotimer?

try
Go to your program list and highlight a program that going to start in say, 30 to 60 minutes in the future
Press Blue to select an Autotimer
Don't change any options in the menu that may appear
Keep pressing Green to select everything
Then quit the program guide

10/15 seconds later do you then get an information screen showing the timers set-up

Have you got a screen shot of a non-working auto-timer set-up?

Hi
I scroll to the program I want to record on the program list and click blue to add the timer

You should now have two entries in your timers list menu->timers->timers that are labelled waiting. Do you have these entries?

now you have to wait


After the first program has started you should be able to go to your list of recorded programs and see an entry for American dad with a red roundal in front of it indicating that it is in progress of recording
