Hi,

I've had no issues from the Quad at all. The thing that pisses owners off are
Sat plug n play tuners are still not available and
Gbit LAN is advertised on the box but not working - USB adapters have been promised to some - though I have no personal experience.

The tuners will become available. I can wait.
Gbit does not effect me - it was not a consideration when I was buying.

The Quad has been fantastic for me. Rock solid and never any issues with autotimer created recordings/instant recordings. I installed a hdd myself.

The issues with blank timers could be caused by something other the Quad itself? I don't know. I hope the guys effected find a solution - I know it would wreck my head.

But personally I can't fault the Quad.

Made 8 recordings yesterday, 6 failed
Either blank or just sound and no picture

Well Marty I know the feeling and it really grates on you after a while, no alone the earache from the wife! Have you tried wiping and loading a computer new image? After that just remount the hdd that way all your good recordings should be saved. Hope this helps

I don't record that often but when I have done they've all been perfect, I use a Toshiba mk8052gs HDD

A bit of an update.
Mr.Mister sent me a copy of his image to try.
I made 20+ recordings in total and every one of them was perfect
This has me baffled, I had done a fresh flash on mine beforehand and still had failed recordings.

Maybe a setting you made that Steve didn't? Also, a plugin that either of you installed that made it work or ballsed it up!?

When I reflashed mine all I added was SMB and NFS and CCCAM.
Steve didn't have SMB and NFS installed, I did add them and ALL recordings were perfect.
I'm waiting for Steve to have a look at my image I sent him maybe that will shed some light?

Interesting. With my Duo for 9 months (from new) and my Quad for 6 months (from new) I have never been able to +24hrs or -24hrs. I have fresh flashed numerous times and tried no plugins but it has always been that way for me.

So is it possible, as this thread suggests, that the same image acts differently on the same model box, in different circumstances? Could our ISP, Windows version, unrar program, USB stick etc cause a tiny difference when flashing? In my case non functioning + or -24hrs and in Marty's case (and others) timer related issues?

No, because I used the same PC/ISP/USB stick

Thanks,
I just can't get my head around that if Mr Mister, yourself and myself are using the same image/build that there are differences (this is assuming you guys can skip 24hrs?)

Would you or Mr Mister mind if I tried that image? just curious.

I can certainly give you MY image to try.

Finally nailed it

Seems you MUST have at least 1 min before and after in the recording settings.
After loads of testing it seems if you set it to "o" mins you will get failed recordings.

I was using a backup image of Steves and I made 20+ recordings with no issues, I then set the time to "0" mins and instantly got failed recordings.

So, those who have issues please see what your before/after setting are
