Show still missing? Your program may not have saved the first time you scheduled a recording. Or, someone else in your home may have canceled or deleted the program from another receiver or mobile app.
Recorded program skips
Try to skip back and replay, or stop and restart the recording. If that doesn't work, reboot your DVR receiver by pressing and holding the
POWER button for 5 seconds. Then, press the
POWER button again to turn the DVR on.
Program didn't record
- Confirm your recording settings by pressing the Menu button on your remote. Select Recordings > Scheduled and press OK to validate your settings.
- Make sure you didn’t select the Record Only When No Conflict Occurs option when scheduling a series for recording. If you did, it prevents the DVR from recording an episode if another program is scheduled to record at the same time.
- If you press the Record button from the on-screen guide, there are three options:
- 1 time – sets a single recording
- 2 times—sets the series for that channel in that time slot
- 3 times—cancels the recordings
