My wife recorded the Biggest Loser tonight. She just came out complaining that it didn't record. She did say it was on that channel, so I figured I would just rewind back into that show in the buffer and pick up as much as I could. However, the buffer showed it as recorded. So it recorded, but is not in the list. Clicking on record in the buffer does nothing. Is there any way to get it back? My wife is not happy. Anyone married will understand my issue. ;)

EDIT: Can a mod fix the title? I clearly meant "show". Thanks.

The R15 doesn't really consider shows that are still in the live buffer "recorded", even if they ended and hour or more ago. In fact, if a show that was "recorded" is still in the live buffer and the unit suffers a power outage or you reboot it, that show is lost and the history file will show "not recorded".

The fix? Change the channel. This:

1. Deletes the live buffer for the previous channel.

2. Takes any shows flagged as "recorded" and transfers all the info to the HDD and Playlist as "recorded show". If you now view the show, the progress bar will indicate time since the beginning of the show instead of "real time" like it did when it was still in the live buffer.

FINALLY, while you are poking around in the live buffer fast forwarding and fast rewinding, you may encounter a prompt similar to "LIVE BUFFER has saved <The Name of Your Show> Would you like to keep/delete it? ALWAYS SAY YES!!! (or KEEP IT) If you don't, you may lose a show you wanted to record but even if not you have just erased the entire live buffer if you answer "delete it".
