Sorry to hear it's giving you grief, Kitz.
I got the phone call from my parents the other day, that I'd been expecting since the big retune a few weeks ago. Their HDD recorder "wouldn't record anymore". It turned out, of course, that it needed retuned.
The reason they'd waited so long was that I bought the HDD recorder for them, and they were afraid I'd be upset to hear it was broken. So they'd lived without it for several weeks before admitting here was any problem. I wonder how many households, especially elderly, are just soldiering on without proper TV these days...?
