    How do I change the filename of recorded files?

    I set up 2 timers to record shows. These timers are set to be repeated daily 7 days.

    When I recorded files automatically using a timer in the past, it saved the filename like this: (Title, Description).
    `Bear Grylls: Born Survivor`
    `The description here... eg: Alaska: Continuing his adventures, Bear is dropped into the mountains...`

    But a few days ago, my timers `deleted` somehow (No idea why). So I set them up again.
    But now it records and saves the file as:
    `20120228 1857 - Discovery HD.ts`
    `The description here... eg: Alaska: Continuing his adventures, Bear is dropped into the mountains...`

    Here is an image to explain what I mean:

    How can I change it so that it records and saves as the first example. (With the show title in the filename `Bear Grylls: Born Survivor`).

    Any Ideas how to get it back to the show title? also any ideas why my timers just `deleted` even though I set it to be repeated daily?

    im a doofus...

    OK, figured it out already..
    I set my timer manually by going into the menu > timers. When you do this, the `title` is left blank (I didn't put this in), so it renamed the recording to the date time - channel.

    You can just put a title in their, or (How I done it), Open your EPG, navigate to the show, and set the timer through there, It automatically puts the show name in the title, Then just change the timer settings to record daily instead of record once (which is default).

    Now it should be back to normal again.
