I had a seriously bizarre incident with the HR20 the other day. I had record NFL Live on ESPN HD. Everything started fine, but I got interrupted and decided to rewind to the beginning of the program. But the thing is, once it got to the beginning...it kept on rewinding. And rewinding. It was sort of cool. By the time I got bored, I had rewound almost 50 minutes BEFORE the recording had begun. Now, keep in mind. I was playing NFL Live back AFTER it had been recorded; in fact, i think it was last thursday or friday's broadcast and I watched it at least 24 hours after it aired.

Has anyone else had this sort of strangeness occur? I don't really mind that much (I'm assuming the tuner was already on ESPN and just decided to record everything before the show started.) But I'd be a little miffed if this ate into the amount of space available for recordings on the unit.

Truly, this is the strangest thing I've ever seen a DVR do, at least insofaras while it is clearly some sort of bug, it's almost a useful bug (unless it eats into the space available to record).

You were in a time warp...

 

[hadji]

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again!

My guess is that you had the channel on for that time before the recording time started, so it was in the buffer. When the recording started, it saved this as part of the recording, although it didn't show up on the timeline.

I also don't think that this would register as used space or prevent another recording from using that space - as the official times of the recording were for the program you recorded itself.
