DMREX78EBK No sound on ITV when recording to hard drive and no sound after recording.

Hello, Oriel -

According to the Wikipedia page on the New Faces British TV program:

Many of the episodes from the ATV era of New Faces were wiped from the archives with 38 surviving including episode 14 of series 1, episodes 1, 11 & 14 of series 2, episodes 1, 36, 40 & 45 of series 3, episodes 7, 11, 15, 19, 22-24 & 28-29 of series 4, episodes 1, 5, 8, 11, 14-16, 21, 24 & 30 of series 5 and episodes 20-30 of series 6

ATV is no longer in existence. ATV produced the programs for ITV. You can contact ITV to determine if the New Faces episode in which you preformed in 1977 still exists. This link explains how to contact ITV Viewer Services:

Have you tried to update the TV guide!

check the hard disk capacity or mmsd is it full

Can't be done, ITV won't allow it on their server. Particularly infuriating if it's just frozen and you need to sit through the ads again with no guarantee it will work this time!

Best solution is to record programmes then they can't stop you. Costly though.

You might have accidently set it to one of the special sound settings such as dolby or DTS. Bring up the main menu and look for the sound menu.

Time shift is a very handy thing... it works by buffering the channel you are watching, that is: it continuously records the channel as you are watching it. The time it records for varies from make to make... Humax machines record a 2 hour "buffer".

Example: If you leave your TV on say ITV and go out, you get delayed when you are out and miss your favorite show, when you come back you can effectively rewind live TV and watch your show. However this only works for the channel that the TV is left on.. if your TV is on itv and you miss a show thats on the BBC then you are out of luck. as you can only rewind what the tv has recorded (the channel you were watching last)

I hope this is the info you were after... if you want / need more info leave a comment and i'll try to help you.

You need to record in timer mode as opposed to program mode. Timer mode allows you to set a time buffer before and after the allotted time slot.

Hi,
It sounds like the internal hard drive has failed especially if this happens when you try and record a program, this will be the clicking sound that you can hear.
If the unit is fine until you try and record the i am in no doubt that it is the hard drive and it needs to be replaced.
Most new recorders have three and half inch IDE/ATA hard drives in them but it is a good idea to check first before you commit to purchasing a new one.



Regards.

Switching off DVD & disconnecting at mains cured the problem.
