Is it safe to delete Unknown Recorded Events on L216

[Rovingbar]

I haven't noticed any discussions of hosed hard drives with L216, but I thought I'd ask before deleting these things. A couple loads back I had deleted a few without any problems. So, is it safe now? What is the best (i.e. safest) procedure with L216?

Thanks,
Jeff


Edit: DOH, my keyboard missed a few letters. I'm sure it was NOT my poor spelling. LOL.

I'd leave them be until at least L219 (release after next), to be on the safe side. Probably, nothing would happen, but...

Is the unknown recording also a 0 Second recording?

It did happen to me:

However, the 921 has been functioning just fine ever since (except for stuck aspect ratio).

Has either L217 or L218 already been canceled?

One is 60 min and the other 63 min. The system was off (idle) when the timers fired. The recording was finished when I went to turn it on, and I noticed the blue light was still on. I seem to remember that the DVR will turn off after recording. Also, the screen was black when I turned it on (i.e. not tuned to any channel.) Anyway I can watch both programs. I noticed that on one of them (Sat locals) the screen kept saying 'Acquiring Signal'. We had clouds last night but no really severe weather. I guess for some reason we had unstable signal from the Sat.

L218 may show up today.

L218 may show up today.

The Tech Portal is showing 218 as downloading today

I got one of these crazy names when setting up a manual timer for the last hour of the shuttle lift off (instead of 6 hours of watching the shuttle sit on the launch pad). Anyway, this is the first time that I've ever gotten a PVR name like that ('Unknown Recorded Event') and I've done my fair share of manual timers over the last year.

Hadn't deleted it yet. Never thought that it might be a problem deleting.

Why would it be a problem to delete any DVR event if it is corrupted or has some other strange problem? :confused: It is a problem when trying to watch a corrupted DVR event when you only get a black screen and it causes the 921 to crash (ZSR type problem).

Until L219 (or whatever comes after L218) gets here, I would be very careful deleting a 0 second length recording. Most likely nothing will happen, other than it gets deleted.

You should be safe deleting all other kinds of normal recordings. Only the 0 second duration recordings are the problem ones.

[Rovingbar]

Well the recordings are gone. I think they got deleted yesterday before L218. So far all is well. But I won't push my luck if they show up again.
