  Manual update gave me this latest software on my T2100.
  
  Still wish it was less clunky and the fast forward / rewind bar didn't fill nearly a third of the screen.

  Hi Sarah Louise Ellis,
  Totally agree. I have been mentioning this for some time now! Youview software team please take note & improve the fast forward/rewind. All the other brands can do it: Freesat/Freeview, but still not Youview with the revised NextGen software. John L

  Can't wait for the day when Youview get rid of the dreaded darkened banner when using fast forward/rewind recordings.

   Netflix is even worse.

  I'm now happy with the disagree icon, because its gone.

  It's evident that Youview designers don't adopt or haven't even heard of the KISS principle. For their benefit it's Keep It Simple Stupid.

  My Panasonic just has a SMALL box at the top right of the screen when fast forwarding, barely noticeable.

  A pity Netflix can't follow that FW/RW example and are even bigger than YouViews and they are far bigger than Panasonic PVR sales.

  I did the update for my T2000 box and since then the itv hub and you tube have both gone from the box.  Tried a factory reset and no resolution.  Any other suggestions?

  Good afternoon Taylor49,
  Welcome to the forum. When you mention you did factory reset, do you you mean the basic reste from within the Youview software that also deletes all recordings at the same time? Have you tried the maintenance mode options, full details can be found on Youview forum? John L

  Can't wait for the day when Youview get rid of the dreaded darkened banner when using fast forward/rewind recordings.

  Hi @taylor49
  Can you please let us know which software update your box has? You can find this by going to Software Information in your Settings. None of the boxes have YouTube, do you mean a different app? Has the app icon disappeared completely from the apps menu?
  Thanks,
  Sarah

  Got this phased update, we knew because the box crashed in standby.
  
  It's rarely used, in fact we stopped retuning the missing HD channels as it was happening far too often.
  
  We are watching off the recordings (slowly). Tonight I've done another retune as essentially the lost channels stayed lost after the update crash.
  
  Will let you know if it is still an issue. It is still the primary box in the chain. I may review this if the box crashes again as if I don't catch it I'll lose recording events on the replacement Freeview Play box (no signal).

  The hard drive is almost empty! (I will whip the hard drive out when it's empty and run a diagnostic.)
  
  It's been 10 days without losing channels.....(but there are no recordings scheduled either)
  ....Merry Christmas.

  Hard drive removed. There was enough on a disk diagnostic to warrant changing the disk.
  
  So I've swapped it out for a newer model with less power consumption, a better spindle speed and more cache. The drive was uninitialised in Windows prior to fitting (no partition info).
  
  Full internet reset and set up. Took a little while, still anonmalies on region selection, it detected IoM again and although I selected Leeds, Yorkshire it popped up as North East and then I reselected and it seemed to hold.
  
  Much quieter. (Edited as it appears this is the latest software version).

  And....today there was a retune or reallocation of LCNs or something, the Panasonic had 'New Channels found! Hit OK to retune'
  
  The Humax....channels are hidden, therefore loss of scheduled recordings and missing HD channels.
  
  Fortunately, the Panasonic is ably recording. Despite the inferior EPG, I'd rather have stuff recording
  
  Edit: TJC (LCN 49) has moved from ArqA to SDN today 6th January 2020
  
  Tomorrow's changelog:
  7th January 2020
  
  Sewing Quarter are making changes to the way the channel is broadcast resulting in a reduction in coverage
  Jewellery Maker are making changes to the way the channel is broadcast resulting in an increase in coverage
  CBS Justice +1 will be launching on channel 69
  Sony Movies Christmas will be changing back to Sony Movies Classic
  Sony Movies Christmas +1 will be changing back to Sony Movies Classic +1
  Now Xmas will be changing back to Now 80s
  5 Spike will cease broadcasting
  Paramount Network are moving to channel 31
  5 Select are moving to channel 54
  5 STAR +1 are moving to channel 55
  5 USA +1 are moving to channel 56
  Smithsonian is moving to channel 57 and are also making changes to the way they are broadcast resulting in an increase to coverage
  
  Cause and effect @Sarah

  I think there is a bug with series link.  I had thought my recording schedule was being deleted, but now I realise it's failing to register a series link request.  When I select to "record series" from the guide, the red R icon appears but on closer inspection it's the icon for recording the current episode only.  I'm sure this is new behaviour in the past couple of weeks.  If I cancel the recording and try again, I get the series icon so I'm hoping that will sort it.

  @bumface
  
  While not recording or about to, press and hold the On/Standby button on your box for just over 8 seconds till the box soft reboots.
  
  See if this clears the issue.

  Hi @bumface
  
  Can you please clarify your box model and the software it's running on? You can find this by pressing Help and then Info on your remote control.
  
  The software this thread is for was rolled out in November and it was completed by early December so if it is on this update still, it's unlikely to be software related since it's only been happening for you in the last couple of weeks.
  
  Can you also let us know how much space you have left in MyTV (this is in the bottom right of the page) and if this happens on all programmes you try to series record? For example, try to record programmes which are on everyday and should have series IDs such as Bargain Hunt, Eastenders and Homes under the Hammer. 
  
  Thanks,
  Sarah
