I had this set up on Freeview serial record on ITV, but last night it
failed. Anyone else have this problem?

My Panasonic PVR reported:
"The timer recording could not start. The following may have occurred.
This unit could not receive event information."

Was it perhaps due to the One Minute's silence announcement at 8 o'clock?

I rarely watch ITV so cannot comment on that but schedules have been all
over the place for the last ten days. And 'serial record' seems always
to be unreliable, I have a few series set to record and they often have
to be set to record again each week.

I have it set up on my Virgin box, and it's recorded correctly.

Yes. It was rescheduled to start at 20.05 and seemed to be identified as
a new programme so the old timer setting no longer applied.

That's a relief - my Foxsat HDR also missed it. I started it manually at 26
min. in and also set +1 to record so that I could watch ~¾ of it in HD.

Could have sworn that Bloodlands was set also, but that didn't record.

Bloodlands is a repeat of a poor series. I gave up watching after a few
episodes.

I recorded Ridley on ITV+1 I haven't checked to see if it recorded.

I record using MythTV on my Linux Mint computer. Ridley recorded
perfectly.

I set my recordings to start 1 minute before and 5 minutes
after the broadcast yet I still sometimes lose the climax of some
rubbish films.
