    Recordings in progress...

    Hi
    I bought an Ultimo 4k a week or so ago, to replace a Duo2.

    It has a twin FBC tuner with a feed to each input, these feeds come from a universal octo lnb. Both tuner A and B are set to 28.2E, C to H come up as automatic and I can record 8 channels at once.

    However, if I record a channel even if only for a few seconds, I cannot then access tuner settings. I get 'recordings are in progress or coming up'. Same if I try to reboot, I get the same warning but I can override this one. There are no timer recordings coming up for several hours, there are none in progress and I have tried tweaking the tuner settings but I always get this if anything has been recorded.

    I don't get the message if I try to delete deleted items, unless recordings are actually in progress.

    Apologies if this has already been asked but I have searched and I cannot find a solution anywhere. Thanks in advance

    Do you really mean tuner settings (menu/setup/tuner) or are you just trying to access another service/channel?

    Thanks for your reply

    Yeah, menu/setup/tuner config/tuner setup/tuner A gives me the recordings in progress message if I have had a recording. In all other aspects the tuners seem fine.

    Not having used an FBC tuner before I'm not sure the settings are correct. These are what I am using.

    Tuner B is set up the same as A, C to H come up as automatic. Could the lnb be the problem? It feeds the Ultimo, a Duo2 and a SkyHD box. No problems with any of those but they don't use FBC tuners.

    Thanks

    I've nothing like you setup, but had a slightly similar problem which was fixed by using different timeshift settings (to disable it).

    Thanks, but I tried disabling timeshift and it made no difference. I have tried a few different tuner settings as well. The only way I can get into any of the tuner settings is a gui restart when there is nothing being recorded and no timed recordings are coming up. As soon as it's recorded something I get 'Recording(s) in progress or coming up' when I try to access any of the tuners' settings. Same message if I try to reboot or go into deep standby. I don't get the message if I try to permanently delete items in the trash can though, which I should do if the box thinks something is being recorded, surely?

    I'll try a different pair of feeds from the lnb and unplugging the Duo2 and the SkyHD box, see if that does anything when I have time.

    Why would you want to change tuner settings if a recording is taking place?

    It is by design that we block changing tuner config if a recording is taking place. The idea is you set your tuners correctly and do not go into it again.

    You should really just set the the two physical tuners as: simple, single, 28.2

    FBC tuners are the same as other tuners. You configure them to the signal they have access to. Your configuration is correct. Advanced is more prone to errors, but don't worry about it as you have it correct.

    The 6 leaf tuners should be left as FBC automatic. They will operate in "loop though" mode.

    Apart from not being able to change the tuner configuration when a recording is taking place, are you having any other issues?

    By the way, you can do more than 8 recordings.

    That's the bit mentioned in this post:

    You don't need to have timeshift enabled for this to be an issue - just that value (somehow) being set.

    Thanks Birdman.

    A recording isn't taking place though. The problem occurs if anything has been recorded and is finished and there are none coming up. Even recording something for a few seconds and stopping it stops me accessing the tuner settings.

    I first noticed it through the warning when I tried to reboot that recordings were in progress, when there weren't, nor were any coming up. Then I wondered if I could go into the tuner settings and I couldn't.

    It's not a massive problem, more of an annoyance but it is bugging me

    All other aspects of the tuners are fine. Crossepg doesn't use tuners C to H for some reason. Reboot/shutdown gives me the same warning but I can over ride it so it's not really a problem, more an annoyance.

    Cheers

    CrossEPG and ABM will not use the leaf tuners.
