Truncated recordings

rmh56 — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 10:56:16 GMT

Has anyone else experienced recordings stopping before the end of a show?

Best example - recorded last ever episode of Endeavor on Sunday.. watched it on Monday and it stopped 5 minutes before the end (Morse walking out of Blenheim) and no credits. Deleted recording, downloaded episode from catch up and was able to catch the last scene. Talk about ruining the moment!

It's happened on a few other shows/channels.

Thoughts? - many thanks

Hi @rmh56 Recorded Endeavour and watched it yesterday. Absolutely no problems at all, certainly no truncation. Over the last 7 years with Sky Q the only time I have missed the end of a programme was Wimbleton. That was because they changed channels.

Power cut maybe?

Recorded the Love Island Final - don't ruddy judge me! Recorded it last night, and watched it after 20mins recording, as you do, watched the way through but noticed that it stopped playing before the credits but it was the end of the program, just an abrupt stop.

Odd one, never seen this before.

EDIT: A power cut would have shown that on the planner.
