Hello.
My Goodmans recorder doesn't allow me to access the recordings libary.
It just keeps displaying a device initializing message.
This has been going on for two days now no matter what I do.
Is there a way to get it working without losing all my recordings in the library?
Thanks.

Thanks MikeP
But I think its gone beyond all that stuff as
I have tried this many times in the past to
reset it. It used to work, but it's not playing
ball anymore.
I was thinking if anyone knows of any other
Ways to gain access to the files like using a
PC program or a cooling device to stop it
Overheating?
A long shot I know but I have fantastic stuff
On that box that I have now lost.
Thanks.

They should scrap the intended NEW Scottish channel that the BBC plan and invest in something more
Intune with the population.
Things like Japanese animations, foreign films and reruns of older comedies are both underrepresented
and horizon expanding.
But we will probably get more effing political programming and cookery shows like what they have planned for this new Scottish channel.
Not happy!

We will still need Freeview in 2042
Monday 6 November 2017 6:06PM

Having a t.v. In 2042 will be a luxury, we will be doing well if we have homes to live in with a living room to sit a television. Those who are of working age will be working mandatory 12 hour + shifts and be too tired to watch or afford a t.v. set or service of any kind.
If things keep going the way they are with 1000 + a month rents and low pay people will take mattresses in to work and live at their place of work. It will be a futuristic version of the Victorian era workhouse.

I have been having problems with sound on t.v. Programs for years now.
Sound engineers don't seem to know how to operate compressors/ limiters
,as the vast volume difference's from mumbled dialogue then extremely loud, orchestral stabs of music that could wake the whole street is just another example of how nobody does their job right.
Utter, anger inducing annoyance of the Highest order.

The BBC's new weather forecast map is rubbish.
Nothing wrong with the old one. But it had to change because some board of a company getting a contract to supply the BBC with maps wants to make millions by revamping the way things are done ( with inferior results by the way) Terrible.

Well things have already changed by the looks of it as their new map isn't as good as the last one that they have had for years.
They way I understand it the Met office will still be supplying the data.
It is just that the contract had to be put out to tender due to E.U. rules, so it will all go through a middleman company thus making it more expensive in the long run, less efficient and with inferior results.

Wouldn't be surprised if T.V. Manufacturers are getting Government subsidies to make bigger screens to
increase the amount of U.V. and white light exposure to the people watching them? Probably to increase
the rates of cancer, cataracts etc?
I can't seem to watch T.V. for very long before I get exposed to adverts with prolonged, blindingly white
Backgrounds then a minute or so later another companies advert does it all over again.
I am sick of having to put my hand up to block it out. Terrible.

In response to MikeP.
I don't suppose the public will know half of what is going on in the world anytime soon (and that includes yourself). The U.S. Authorities can hack Samsung T.V. sets and have been doing so for a while (remember that story?) G8 and G20 etc continue to meet up periodically, what do they talk about? EVERYTHING!
We are living in a world were a person can't even get ACCURATE information about fluoride levels in drinking water if any? And don't forget about how we are all allowed to freely adopt mobile phones with no need for a licensing mechanism like we have for a T.V. set. Some mobile phones are so cheap the industry has got to have received subsidies at some point, Why not T.V. manufacturers? After all Samsung has marketing dominance in televisions, allegations of corruption surround them and The said U.S. hacking ability could be in cahoots with Samsung in exchange for market dominance etc. This kind of stuff ceased to be conspiracy theory ages ago. Now its mainstream business practices near enough.

Cancer treatment is one of the BIGGEST Businesses around. Cancer research has had untold Billions pumped in to it and NOT ONE type of cancer has been cured. Cancer is a efficient way to control worldwide populations and the problems they bring and big companies and Government folk who sit on boards or get political influence from big business, Making big money while blaming peoples lifestyles for cancer compared to having wars to manage populations which are unpopular and Governments get the blame for starting them. ALSO got to remember that there is NO such thing as free healthcare. Taxpayers money is and continues to be haemorrhaged in to the pockets of C.E.O.'s and shareholders by doing this.
Like I said this stuff is generally accepted and ceased to be conspiracy theory ages ago.
