Viva never went away, it's been there the whole time on Sky & Virgin!


Yes sorry - should have specified that it's back FULL TIME on the Freeview Platform

Anyone else having issues over the last couple of weeks with C4 HD on Freeview recording to time rather than the programme? Had to watch 4 minutes of ads on All4 to catch the last 2 minutes of Peep Show.

Does your box not allow you to have a buffer?

It has always recorded from the beginning of the show to the start of the next show and still is on other channels, so just wondering if it is a C4 issue rather than specific to me.

I've had no problems with anything else on Channel 4 recently, but it looks like I'm missing the last few minutes of last night's Peep Show on my YouView box as well. The episode proper starts at 02:24 and the recording is 30:05 in length.

Looks like I'll have to get it off p-ahhumm All4 as well.

Thanks - I'll hold off retuning my box for now. C4 are pretty dumb if they've pulled out of a PDC style system, though I'm sure it's happened before where for a week or two on certain channels before returning to the norm.

Just experienced the same with tonight's Homeland recorded off 4HD. Recording cut at 1:10:02,, before the credits rolled.

It's not on All4, so I'll have to wait now for 4 +1 to see if I missed anything.

Just tweeted the same to @Channel4 and someone else has replied to say they experienced the same.





It's called Accurate Recording in the digital world, by the way.

Accurate Recording - these technical terms hey!

Only ever record on C4 HD so don't know if it's affecting SD to, but the content I've recorded on E4, More4 and 4Seven HD this week seems to have been fine.

Have you tried C4+1 HD, is that affected too ? I was watching Homeland last night on chase play, and I'd more or less caught up with real time by the end, it cut off for me at the point.............
...........Saul received the text, and he marched off presumably to see Allison ?


I'll be using belt and braces for Fargo's finale tonight !!!

My recording started bang on 21:00:00, (about a minute before the programme actually started, and cut off at 22:10:00, which was the scheduled start of Googlebox, so I suspect C4 are no longer adjusting the EIT triggers to the actual schedule, and PVRs are simply reverting to the vanilla EPG timings ?

Either they've stopped or it's broken. Anyway I watched +1 and

Saul went to see Allison after getting the text from Carrie, but Allison had left her hospital bed.

Homer just swore in the Simpsons. At 6 O clock, what are the rules for this. I'm sure this must of been a mistake.
