Win 7 Pro latest updates

I have many programs scheduled to record via the TV Tuner installed in
the PC.

All but one TV program get recorded perfectly. "Diagnosis Murder"

I see it in the list to record.
There are NO conflicts.

This has been this way since I set it up several weeks ago.
Should have recorded a dozen or so of this one.

Other TV programs I set up after this failing one are being recorded.

I have over 500GBytes of space so disk space is not the problem.

Why won't this one TV program record ?

Suggestions please.

I'm assuming this is terrestrial TV, though probably some of the
questions/thoughts would apply to satellite too.

Are any of the other prog.s that _do_ record, on the same "channel" (or
even multiplex) as that one?

If it's the only one that's on that "channel", it might be that the EPG
on that channel is broken, or that the EPGs as carried by other channels
(or multiplexes) don't properly carry the details of that channel.

Can you set it to record using manual entry of times and channel number,
rather than looking at it in the guide and selecting "record that one"?

(Also, have you been scheduling it by selecting individual episodes, or
selecting "record series", assuming your recording software offers that?
If the latter, have any other series [similarly selected] recorded OK?)

[I've added another 'group - not 100% relevant, but has some
knowledgeable folk in it.]

Just as many people feel Christmas hasn't begun until they've heard the carols
at King's, or that the election campaign hasn't begun until some politician
lambasts the BBC ... - Eddie Mair, Radio Times 2013/11/16-22

Over the air.
Only do record series.
Perry Mason is on same channel two hours before and always records.
1 hour gap to Diagnosis Murder.

No conflicts.

Just leave it in the headers, and ignore error messages.

Interesting! Have you _tried_ manually setting a recording (manually
entering start and end times, and channel number)? Of a single episode?

(If that fails, will it record DM if you manually click record just as
it starts?)

No conflicts.

Every time I think I know where it's at, they move it.

Have WMC fixed their problem with EPG listings for the UK? I stopped using
it and went over to NextPVR when their EPG feed over the web stopped. For
DVB-T channels, its OK: those can be decyphered from the data carried in the
DVB stream, but for DVB-T2 channels, the EPG listings are encrypted in a way
that WMC can't decypher, so those channels remain empty in the EPG.

Manual recording might be the only resort if certain programmes are no
recording even though they appear in the EPG. Is there anything in the
status report which lists every scheduled recording in the past and the
recorded OK / failed because ... status. I forget where that report is,
which shows how quickly I've forgotten details now I've gone over to
NextPVR. I never understood why WMC couldn't schedule two overlapping
recordings on channels which were on the *same* mux, when other programmes
cope fine with this.

I've seen that if the program guide isn't correct the recorded show will
not be what you wanted. To avoid that use specific channel number and
start/stop time seems to work and avoids using the guide. I always have
one channel guide never shows anything for shows, no idea why?
