david parker: Its not necessarily hot weather that affects TV reception but what it can be associated with, this as fully explained by Briantist on the link below.


What is the Inversion Effect and why does it effect my Freeview TV reception?

Hello.

It appears that I am not the only one to be having trouble with my Sony DVD Hdd recorder. Mine too is stuck on update and cannot get it to operate. Is there a solution to this problem. What can we do?

Hi,

Both my father in law and I are suffering the same problem as Beryl. Sony HDD recorder has stuck and shows "update". Problem arose on Thursday.

Cannot get it to respond to reset. Any suggestions please?

Martin

I too have a problem with my Sony HDD which has locked on UPDATE. Is there must be a fault with FREEVIEW?, my transmitter is Midhurst.

Some change in the digital signal in the last
couple of days is causing Sony hard disk
recorders (RDR HXD-xxxx) all over the country
to lock up in the 'Update' phase. Even when
you reset it, it does not show any picture
and locks up when trying to change channels.

What exactly have they done?

To all those experiencing problems with Sony equipment, it appears to be a faulty software update causing problems. There are many entries in other parts of this website all saying the same thing on a number of different transmitters. That shows it is not the transmitter at fault and as it appears to only be affecting Sony equipment and no other manufacturer's products we can safely assume it is unique to the Sony update which I gather was sent out Friday evening.

Michelle P; Having lost Freeview Channels and Guide at 9pm Friday, tried everything thinking it was our equipment, contacting Sony (no luck - phones not manned till Monday!), Digital TV & Lets Be Clear@800 both v helpful, said it was a Sony problem... have just switched on TV (3pm Sunday) and it's all working fine.. so thank you at last Sony for fixing your problem.

Sylfan: Press and hold the Power/Standby button on the front of the machine for about 5 seconds and this should bring it out of Update mode.
