Ok, I've now had this happen twice in a week. I have had a reoccuring, new timer setup to record Six Feet Under on HBO-HD. Both times now it has not recorded it, but said it did.

The first time I didn't see it until after the event. According to the DVR schedule it recorded, but it was no where to be found.

The second time tonight, I noticed about 5 minutes into the show that it did not have the red recording light on. I turned on the receiver, looked in the guide and according to the guide it was actively recording it. I could view the show live fine, on either tuner (nothing else was recording). When I went to the DVR list it was no where to be found.

I did a front panel reboot, and after the acquiring sat. screen and a guide download the recording started up, red light came on etc ...

In between the first time and the second time I completely deleted the timer, and did a front panel reboot.

I had 2 other recordings setup earlier in the evening, bothh on SD channels, and they worked fine. I am starting to get really annoyed by this as Six Feet Under is the only show on right now that I really want to watch and twice in 4 days it's failed to record. I've restored the timer for Friday night, we'll see if it records. I am also going to try setting up a weekly timer instead of new and see if that makes a difference.

I never had this issue until Sunday night and so far it's only affected this specific show and channel.


Regardless this is a really annoying bug.

May be related, may not be ...

I've seen the opposite situation, where the red light is on but there's nothing recording and nothing scheduled to be recorded. Manually starting and stopping a recording with the Record button resets the light.
