Problem with recordings on hard drive

[platty2890]

Nearly every recording i make on hard drive on playback i get a black dot(like a pixel missing) in the same place on the screen but its not on all recordings.Does anyone else have this problem cause its irritating on my pj screen.Is there a defect on the hard drive and should i ring sky?.

Have you been recording off Film4 ?Many an innocent (like me) has been
terrorized by a black dot on this channel and I think one or two other channels.If it disappears its the channel and not your beautiful new flatscreen

I had this problem with manual recordings only on my HD box found a fix on this site i think you paused the recording on playback pressed the green button then backup and the missing pixel was fixed. Hope this helps.

Thats not a snotty reply. It was quite polite really. Please accept my apologies if you interpreted it as such. Theres an awful lot of repetative questions on here and there is even a thread at the top of the forum Read First: SkyHD - PLEASE read this BEFORE CREATING A NEW THREAD.

Your issue is mentioned in there. Have you read that thread?

80% of the questions at the best of times are repetitive.I just ignore the ones that I find silly, don't interest me or are boring and make the odd friendly contribution if my limited knowledge can be of help.
