[Mr Skrunts]

Just flicking through the menu for tonight, The Siege on Channel5 9.00pm, cant remember if I have seen it, so clicked on record and get the messahe.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

A recording cannot be set for this programme

Press BACK UP to cancel

[/b]

Hard drive has plentry of free space, no overlappingprograms.

Anyone know what the problem might be, or is this a program I am not allowed to record.

TIA.

I have probs recording films. I think I have taken off every parental control but, just before a film starts, it asks for my PIN. OK if I want to watch it then, but not if I want to record.

[Mr Skrunts]

Just put it on 5 and clicked the record button, this time it has been accepted.

[Mr Skrunts]

Was a naff film after all of that.

i thought it asked for the pin when you want to watch the recording? if the film certificate warrants it of course.

I have winged to sky re pin, they could be sued by parents if kids watch an unsuitable film, so a level of restriction remains, bloody annoying esp. as we dont have kids.

I record via scart to a DVD recorder.

At the end of the day they are made to a budget, cheaper the better. Maximize profits, you know you would do the same

We certainly do maximise profits Tunnie, but we won't consider maximising profits at the expense of pissing the end user off - and we certainly won't piss them off further by making them talk to someone (on a premium rate phone line) who is based 3000+ miles away and can't understand basic f**king english when a problem does arise through the use of cheap shit that the customer is paying through the nose for

You know full well that the phone is answered in Mumbai and they try their best to keep the call there.
Ask to be put through to someone in the UK and the answer is "we can't put you through directly, if you want someone in the UK then you will have to call back and try again"........funny how the f**kers can put you straight through to Livingstone with absolutely no delay when you tell them you are leaving though

Same with any company, i tell o2 that every time i ring up 

I get a special number to call when i ring Sky

Most companies give their staff a number to ring that isn't supposed to be known by Joe Public, so what?

Truth is that a very high percentage of companies that hold a monopoly don't give a toss what their customers do, until you tell them you will turn up in person and then actually see it through
