SKYHD and last nights 24

My recording of 24 in HD had a blank screen for about 7 secs last night around the first 10 mins, anyone else get that or is it the dreaded HD box gremlins surfacing on my 10 day old box?

Same here, got to the end of the 1st advert and I then get the message recording interrupted. It is repeated late Saturday night on Sky1HD.

Re: SKYHD and last nights 24

I recorded it on Sky one HD. I lost about 2 seconds of viewing to a black screen..... I just about jumped out my seat when it happened. Glad it wasn't just me!

Re: SKYHD and last nights 24

Forgot to mention that when the screen went black SKYoneHD was still in the coner of the screen unaffected.... so hopefully it isn't a major issue

Re: SKYHD and last nights 24

I noticed this too, looks like it's not a box issue then which is good news! The lip sync went a bit **ts up after the screen went blank for me too, probably about .5s out or so which was mildly annoying.

Re: SKYHD and last nights 24

I recorded it on sky Hd, but for some reason at about 10.10pm red light was still on. Cancelled recording to stop it and found that only 40min of 24 was recorded. Don't know why!

yes I LOVED the last 6 series but the characters are not credible (the US president flashing her thighs) and the dirty looking Chloe lookalike in the FBI....still, its still entertaining but not a patch on the old ones, Keefer however says this is the best one
