For the first time, for well over a year, I have had a couple of timers left as "orphans" in one of my boxes. Previous occurrences I have been able to say that they were due to power outages, but not this time.
This happened around a week ago. Can't specify a date/time, as I put it down to just one of those things, and somehow these got lost. The boxes I have are always in standby when I am not using them. One explanation would be that I lost power over the time of start. I can't say if I had lost power coincident with the errant timers, but I don't think so, as I would have had to reset a number of clocks in my abode.
I use ntp time.
I did have another problem, that would have been related to Ice, I think.
Secret Diary of a Call Girl I have recordings set as first runs only. This is on GEM mondays
On monday there also was a repeat of a series 2 episode of Secret Diary on ch 9 at a later time. This was put in my timer list as Balls of Steel. I don't have Balls of Steel as a keyword or title, so when I saw that in my timer list on the BW, I had a bit of a hunt around. The Green Guide showed Ball of Steel, I believe that Ice showed the timeslot as Secret Diary and not flagged as a repeat. So that caused confusion. Ice website showed one thing, the timer in my box (P2) was something else. So I left it there to see what actually was transmitted.
It was recorded with the title Balls of Steel in my files on the HDD, but it was a repeat of Secret Diary from series 2.
Probably doesn't help anyone make any sense out of it all, but just put it out there.
Just rechecked my timers on both boxes. No orphans.
Both my boxes are using .350.
