Two questions in one. On two occasions recently I have set an hour long programme to record that had ended recording after about 40 minutes. Also if I start to watch a programme that I set to record during its recording when I ‘catch up’ with it - usually by zipping through the ads- I will get a blank screen with a recording has stopped message or a ‘back’ message. I’m puzzled and would be glad of some advice.
Regarding the 2nd part of your question , that behaviour is normal when you reach the end of a still recording recording and you then just go back to live TV.
