TF5400PVR combo - timer recordings gone!

[A.Morup]

Hi there!

I am a brand new TF5400PVR combo owner from Denmark and I have some problems with my Toppy. I write in English, but you are welcome to answer in German

Yesterday, I programmed 28 timer recordings from the EPG. They were correctly programmed (a R next to the title) and I could see them in the "timer recording" list afterwards. The first programmed recording was recorded and I then manually set the PVR to standby.
This morning, the unit was not recording as planned, so I opened the "Timer recording" list to see why and all my planned recordings were gone! Why?

I am running on the new 1446 firmware. The unit was not unplugged during the night and there were no power blackouts.

Are there different types of standby settings on the TF5x000PVR (on, standby and off) or is the a special type of standby that you need to use to get your timer recordings?

Will timer recordings be deleted if the unit is unplugged for a while?

Thanks for any answer!
Anders, Denmark

Hi!

Did you limit the stations for time update to reliable stations?
Else it could happen that the Receiver receives a wrong timestamp and that all timers will be deleted because they are outdated.

Watch this (German) for more details:

Hi Gerti!

Many thanks for your advice - sounds like a very possible cause of my problem!
I will check my settings as soon as I get back from work!

PS: Thanks for the TAP advices too!

Hi Gerti!

Back from an extended weekend holiday and all my recordings have been made "right on time"

As described in your link, I manually set the automatic timer update to get the time from ZDF (11954 MHz) on Astra. To make sure that the time is always updated, I have made a planned 5 minute reservation ("R") on ZDF every morning at 6hrs - seems to work just fine!

Thanks again!
