I set my HDR Fox T2 to record Richard Hammond's weather program last
night at 9 pm, but it didn't do so. There is a reference to 'Failed to
track program' when I play what it did save.
I got it later via iPlayer, I think, although from what I saw, there
was a huge mis-match with the subtitles, the display having come and
gone before Hammond got around to speaking the words.

Any idea what the actual fault was that caused it to fail to record?

Probably the PVR was being critical of the huge waste of time of an hour-
long programme messing about with all sorts of tech to put across a very
few simple points!

If so, then my time watching it will be very short! Hammond's other
non-Top Gear programmes have been underwhelming, to say the least.

Revealing aside from Radio Times' write-up of Episode 2: "And Hammond
flies a helicopter - because he can"!

Probably not the Apache that droned past us today at a couple of
hundred feet altitude.

I found the same comment when I sat down this morning to watch the end
of yesterday's Formula 1 Race, also on an HDR Fox T2.
Does anybody know what the actual cause or problem is? There was
nothing else being recorded at the time, and I watched most of the
programme live, so I know it was broadcast. It was nothing to do with
lack of HDD capacity, there is plenty of room available.
