is there any way of finding out if one of the tuners has gone or is going down,I can record one program with no problem but if I try to record two at the same time one program fails or will not record the full program either starting late or finishing early.I have Humax PVR 9200t

Is it up to date with the latest software?
Are they scheduled timer recordings or manual recordings?
If scheduled timer recordings,are you sure that both being added to the timer list?

Whilst not recording:
Select the PIP function. If you can PIP eg BBCONE and BBCTWO, then both pictures may be from a single tuner.
If you PIP eg BBCONE and ITV1 then both pictures must be from different tuners, so if either displays as a black image a tuner is faulty.
