FF and rewind are not available for ads???

I have read many times that downloaded programs, some of them, do not let you FF thru the ads. If you recorded it from the sat then this sounds new. ??

 

There must be a terminology issue here. You cannot FF past commercials on any on-demand recordings. However, there is no such limitation on recordings of live content. Never has been. Are you sure you are describing the issue correctly?

 

What show(s)?

I've only had that happen for On Demand downloads.

 

I wonder, any chance there was a conflict that night and it chose the on demand version since it couldn’t record live?

Also, if you look in series manager, is it set to record the show from all channels or just from the one channel?

 

Or do a reboot and see what happens then........

 

In the past, recording from a Smart Search would get all channels and recording from the Guide would be just that specific channel. I hope that hasn't changed.

 

You are seeing what I've been seeing for months across at least two National Releases. For some reason I keep getting duplicate recordings of shows I properly record on network broadcasts. All the duplicates show On Demand channels in the Guide.

I get the same duplicated recordings nearly every day. I also get the proper recordings, no conflict that I can see.

Done that several times and they always come back. Nothing seems to help. I think it only happens on my 44 but the next time I get one...let me check...nothing last night. Next time it happens I'll make sure which HR is doing it.

I record The Late Show every day it's on and I set the recording using the Guide. I have seen recordings that have a time stamp of 6:30 PM on channel 1002. I never use On Demand for anything.

Be willing to bet the "techs" at ATT don't know why that happens either. Simply put, it should not happen.

Rich

 

Rich, I thought we were talking about not being able to FF through commercials, not the duplicate recordings issue, which has been discussed extensively in the New GUI thread.

 

The duplicates seem to be where the TS is seeing the problem. If the duplicates weren't there would there be a problem?

Rich

 

Because there are duplicates, he can’t FF through commercials? Have we entered Bizarroworld? Static noise bursts. Channels changing spuriously. Can’t delete a program when finished watching. Audio and video suddenly freezing. Are we witnessing a total DTV meltdown? Should we get out now while we still can?
