Hi Joe,
Many thanks for your update, do you have any idea who we can lobby at Freeview or their data management out-sourcers to get the data fixed?

Thanks Joe, I'll chase Freeview as well to add a little more pressure.

I have found likewise, a manually set timer doesn't trigger.
We had another "New channels - please re-tune" message today but after clearing and re-loading the channels there was no change - my Panasonic still won't record any channels on the PSB3 / BBCB multiplex.
Time to chase Freeview and Panasonic again. And yes, definitely worth raising with Trading Standards!

Hi Pete,
It seems that Panasonic released 15 firmware updates yesterday, I hope that this works for you. The release description just says " Network service compatibility". Unfortunately still no update for my DMR-BWT720.

GOOD NEWS UPDATE!! - I just received an email from FreeView saying that the problem is fixed and I have found that I can now record BBC1 HD again!
There was no need to re-tune, it just started working. Hopefully this will be the end to this sorry saga.!

Hi Les,
Very glad that your recorder is now working properly again! Sounds like your experience was the same as mine, no firmware update but it has just started working properly. I agree, Freeview must have changed something in the data stream to make this work.
Similar problems have occurred on other transmitters in the past and they have miraculously gone away just as ours has. It does make you question whether Freeeview is capable of learning from its mistakes though!

Hi Michael,
Likewise, I've just received a further mail from Panasonic support saying that they are still investigating the non-recording problem. Also that they don't have a timeline for a fix or any information that they are prepared to release as to what the cause is or what the fix is likely to be.
