My PMS is working well but it stubbornly refuses to record “Die purpurnen Flüsse”, also know as “The Crimson Rivers” or “Les Rivières Purpres” from the UK channel More4+1 (Freesat).
It allows me to schedule the recordings, tries to record but then fails.
I have full set of logs showing the failure. Here’s an extract showing the failed attempt of last FRI:
