    This issue seems to occur randomly. I notice it happening with both advanced & current recordings. I can set record for a programme that epg shows is on for 15 mins but then the recording timer will default to 1 hour once it starts. I do remember some time ago setting a manual recording for a duration of 1 hour for a channel that had no epg info. But once I started recording on other channels with epg it recorded like normal. To overcome this problem I've tried a few things - factory reset, recording to sd card, recording to USB, using different file system ntfs or fat. Can anyone suggest anything else?

    Been testing this some more over the last couple days have some more info to add. The 1 hour recording bug seems to be on programs that are on for 1 hour or less (anytime above that records fine). The problem doesn't appear provider dependent as I experience the same issue across 3 different service providers. Lastly the problem is affecting both my z7 box's so that indicates its not just the box.

    Did you check under settings -> Date and time and select the right region? In MOL EPG from Normal > UTC and reverse?
