Does your 1028 change channels in the middle of a recording against your will :B

Does your 1028 change channels in the middle of a recording against your will ? ...Only had for a few days - performed basic tests seems fine and does all ex
pected actions as expected. Will keep an eye on it

No it doesn`t seem to be ABLE to change channel/source whilst recording or in record:pause.
However if you mean does the recorded programme, when played back, appear to change channel, then YES it can do.

On my swisstec DVR-1028 , this occurs when recording on a previously used (and erased) +RW disc.

As the recorder works at 4x speed (I believe), it is idle 3/4 of the time whilst buffering video data. So it records for a few seconds, then waits.
Sometimes it fails to actually write to the disc when it should (may be a calibration or tracking problem) so during playback it would show a few seconds of new recording than a few seconds of previous(ly erased) recording.

IF THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE it points to a bad batch of loaders and all machines should be returned under guarantee. Anyone else experiencing this please join and post so the extent of the problem can be measured!
