Pauline: Are you saying you had 3 and Prime recording, but you could not watch 1 or 2, but TVNZ 7 was OK?

This seems wierd.

Freeview broadcasts its channels via 3 transmission streams known as MUXes,

TVNZ have one with 1,2,6,7,sports extra on?

As an aside have you been able to record/watch TV1 while recording TV3 and TV2 or vice-versa?

I have discovered that occasionally when the news tapes, it shows up as TV3 Plus 1 in the playlist, but I'm unsure if that's maybe something my flatmates have done. Likewise, occasionally programmes that I expect to have taped aren't there.

Yeah – this is one odd thing. I switch?

Also, that thing where it doesn't record shows you really want it to (and told it to, and expect it to) bugs the hell out of me. Expedition Guyana episode two, where are you? I got episodes one and three, but what happened in the middle?

Clearly, this PVR thing?

Burglars don't recognise its value so they leave it behind when they cart off my other geek necessities

Seriously? Bugger. I know it doesn't make it better, but I hope the insurance train pays a helpful visit.

A friend recently told me an unsual story about a burglary where the?

Steve Mills is still alive (um, spoiler alert...)

Wait, WTF, Steve died? Why did I not know this already? Ok, I'm going to have to take a moment here.

RIP Nurse Steve Mills – 196? – 199?
You will never be forgotten.

RIP Nurse Steve Mills – 196? – 199?

The worst was when Carmen dropped dead. I cried. And I haven't watched it since, actually...

MySky's favourite trick is unexpectedly losing its series linking

I've tried to work out why it does this, and I think it *might* cancel the series?

Also, why does it not understand that series links can be daily rather than weekly?

Umm, bad programming.

It sounds like mysky might be best run through google calendar, which does all of these things fine.

(Also, why does it not understand that series links can be daily rather than weekly? I want *every episode of The Daily Show*, Tuesday to Friday. I do not want to series link it separately on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.)

I'll have to doublecheck but I'm pretty sure that?

With these freeview PVRs are you able to take downloaded movies/shows etc from your computer/friend and load them into the PVR and play them? Even just plugging in a usb and playing it from that would be fine.

Currently we have to lug our PC out to the?

Hmm, the only thing I could see as a conflict could be the HD decoding capacity, both TV3 and TV1/2 are HD, 1080i and 720 respectively, while all the others are plain SD.

It's not doing decoding when it's recording – more likely it's a disk bandwidth issue – it's?

Prime TV and Daylight savings ... programmes that were series-linked on Prime TV prior to daylight savings commencing were recording an hour late after the change-over. They had to be cancelled an re-linked before they taped right.

I missed like three episodes of Letterman before I worked?
