Hi all,
For some reason, some of the programmes that are scheduled in my planned recordings don’t record. For some of my wishlists, the programme will show up in my planned recordings and then a few days before the recording, it will just disappear. Then, when the programme has just aired, it will show up in my Recording Activity tab as ‘not available’. Does anyone know why this happens, please? I have plenty of room in my storage so not sure why it happens with some wishlists and not others - it can be really frustrating.
Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give me!

Do you have any specific examples?
Past recordings that have "failed" will be listed in your Recording Hiccups folder, with the reason for failure.
IIRC "not available" can sometimes mean the programme was removed from the broadcast schedule and so the planned recording was dropped.

Thanks for your post on our Community Forums @Rhodri25!
We're sorry to hear of the issues with the recorded programmes
Are you able to provide some further background, with the points asked and raised in the post from @japitts?
Can you tell us if there are any recordings in the hiccups folder?
Kindest regards,

Thank you both! To be honest, I think that must be the problem. The majority of my programmes do record successfully if my wish lists pick them up, so I imagine if it's a film for instance, it just gets pulled from the schedule and that's why it doesn't come up as 'not available'. I hadn't noticed it happening before but that must be why I think!
