I recorded the Bills-Pats game at 1PM (please no jokes!). I started watching about 1:30. The beginning of the game was recorded, ie I was able to watch the game from the opening kickoff. I caught up to real time at the end of the first half, at which time I left it recording but used the other tuner to check the Fox game, NASCAR race and the D10 test channels of 480, 481 and 498. The record light stayed on the entire time. When I went back to the Bills game, I noticed the orange bar on the progress bar started at about 1:45 instead of 1:00. Thinking this was just a graphical hiccup, I decided to go back to the beginning of the buffer which should have been 1:00. Well I could only go back to 1:45 just as the orange bar indicated.

Since I never stopped the recording and the game was the only thing recording, what happened to the first 45 minutes of the recording? Since I had already watched this MIA 45 minutes, it was not a big deal, but it makes me worried about future recordings going MIA. Anyone ever seen anything like this?

Were you watching from the list or from live TV? Even when you are recording, if you select from the guide or change the channel, you watch the 90 minute buffer. If you choose from the list, the entire recording should be there.

When I went back to the game, I punched in the channel number on the remote and did not go to the list to resume playing. I did not realize there would be 2 different buffers. I guess chalk this up to another difference from the HR10 that I'm learning.
