Every film I record it only record half of film. Which is very annoying? Any ideas please?

Which box do you have? Check here if you're not sure

Is your box recording the first half or second half, for example? If you press "play" to bring up the status bar, is half of it missing?

Does this affect non-movie recordings?

It would be useful to know which films you are only getting half of.

Many films on some channels are now broadcast as two halves.

Many channels split films in to two parts with a 5 minute Entertainment News update in the middle. This is a loophole to allow more advertising during the film. You need to make sure both parts are set to record.
