I have solved my own problem. Needless to say it was all down to me not
reading the WIKI carefully enough.

My default Recording modes were entered as "tv25fps, radiobest". Note the
space between the two modes. Had I read the instructions carefully enough I
would understood that there should NOT be a space. Removal solved the
problem.

RTFM!
