Same here in Central Scotland - happening to both my recorder (bought second hand a couple of yeras ago, up to recently ran faultlessly) and a unit I bought (again second hand) for my mother in law.
We both live in the STV area, although it seems to affect all stations.
Typically, we schedule one recording event, but both recording indicators come on at once, when we review the "recordedtitles" list, we see two of everything.
As with some other comments, I initially put t down to SOLE (stupid old lady error) but, unless I'm missing something really important, it's also an example of SMAME (stupid middle aged man error).
It may be entirely a red herring, but I noted that teh BBC no longer supported iPlayer on the red button (being blisfully unaware previously it is no great loss!)
What alarms me more is the mum-in-law reports hers "gets rid-hoat (red hot) overnight" - we're now concerned about leaving it plugged in when we leave the room!
As background
I previousy had to replace a Sonny Blue-Ray player when the BBC dropped support - I wonder if it's a Java thing?
I have a 90 year old gramaphone - which still plays records in spite of all the technological developments since then, this goes beyond "planned obselencence" and moves into the field of "Managed decommissioning"
These items are not cheap items, and I have been a faithful Sony customer for over 25 years, principally because up untl now I have considered them a "premium brand" (I'm typing on a VAIO computer!), had I paid a hundred quid and a box went on the frak, i'd have put it down to "gets what you pays" but I expect better of the good people of Sony.
Even Samsung seem to be more responsive to consumer concerns!
