Anyone been having any recording issues with the TM-6900 super?
I've had 2 problems this week - a few days ago a recording wouldn't play and showed up as a zero byte file on my pc. Also yesterday I recorded something from BBC HD and I was in the house long enough to see it cut in, but when I came to play it later - no recording and no corresponding folder when I connected the drive to my pc!
The first problem sounds like the recorded file wasn't closed properly at the end, but the second suggests that the TM actually zapped the recording after finishing! Unfortunately the TM doesn't save any logs if it has a problem.
I'm using a Samsung HM160HI in a USB caddy which reports no errors with scandisk or chkdsk (although I am reformatting it before my next recording just in case). I've had no problems with this drive or setup until now and have not recently installed any updates (my TM currently with 6.72p firmware).
One other point (which is probably not likely to be relevant), I manually stopped another recording which did cut in and record okay several hours AFTER my BBC HD program. Could manually stopping a program cause a confused TM to delete an earlier program? Could the TM have used the same folder name as an earlier program and so overwrite it with a new recording?
