I just went to watch Lost (in HD) and it wasn't in my list. I checked History and it shows that it was recorded and deleted. I never touched the receiver, so I don't think I caused this. Anyone else have this issue?

Sorry dude.

No problem here.

Those random deletes of recorded shows are being reported ALL OVER this website, on numerous different threads. Here's one:

And here's another, which is the main "0xDC - Software Update thread" (refer especially to at least the last 4 pages or so of the thread):

And there are plenty, plenty more...!

Same thing happened to me last night - i saw the recording light on for the first 10 minutes and then it went off - checked history and it said it deleted it. This was trying to record the local HD feed and not the SD feed. I have had some issues with recording local HD.

Happened to me too! Not in VOD! Shows "Recorded" in "History" list, not deleted...

The record indicator was on last night for game 6 of the NLCS, but nothing showed up in the List. A red button restart made it materialize.

Mine was there and I just want to say that it was the most beautiful, sharpest, most detailed thing I've ever seen on TV. Sorry to pour salt in your wounds. Thumbs up to either Lost or ABC. It was stunning.

Same thing here. Lost showed up in my VOD, but it would not play. Did a red button reset and Lost disappeared.

The good thing is you can still watch it for free on ABC's official Lost website (sorry, I can't post the link).

My Jericho recording blew up so it is lost, but Lost recorded.

No recording at all, I confirmed no recording conflict, according to the history it was labeled "Partial" what ever that means.

There is no repeat playing of this show that I can find, no chance to capture it again, it is gone until repeat season, thanks DirecTV, you guys rock! I hope your programmers never are responsible for anything that might kill or injure someone. Maybe it is a good thing they are working on this DVR vs something like a heart monitor or flight control systems. Thanks DirecTV for keeping all the bad programmers and testers working on systems that cant hurt people.

You can see Jericho on BitTorrent in a few days for free...

If I wanted to deal with Torrent or other share systems I wouldn't of purchased a DVR, that is suppose to record, nor do I want to watch TV on my pc and yes I have a HTPC too, but it is a giant PITA, I just want time shift or buy my content. I just expect my DVR to actually record what I tell it to.

Sheesh, sorry, just trying to help you out. I couldn't watch Lost last night due to the same problem, but decided to find it online as a result. If you prefer to wait until Jericho comes in reruns, that's your choice.

All Lost episodes on the HR20 seem to have a corruption problem for me... the recordings get pixelated with green in them, and this happens maybe 10 times in the hour of the show. It lasts for anywhere from 1-10 seconds. Strange since no other shows I've watched have done that.

 

[jkc120]

Yep, Lost wasn't recorded here, either. Nor was The Biggest Loser. Both were set to record at 9pm.

Southpark shows as cancelled at 9pm. So it obviously knew to record Lost and the Biggest Loser. It just plain didn't.

Both show up as "Partial".

What a joke, this thing misses half of the recordings. I'm calling directv to get some kind of credit or something, this is bs.

The intermittent severe pixelation problem seems to occur in the Washington, DC area on channel 7 (ABC) HD broadcast through D*. I've heard from people looking at the OTA broadcast that it doesn't occur there. It is not just on Lost - I've seen it on other shows on channel 7 too.

I'd be interested to hear how far you get with that. Please post.

I've been keeping track of how many recordings I've lost to random auto-deletes (14 in last 3 weeks!).......!!

Lost wound up as a Black Screen that wouldn't play, even though I happened to surf to the channel, as it was recording??? This is getting really boring.... I've also been getting a lot of random auto-deletes, and missed recordings. :-(

They gave me a $5/mo credit for 6 months.
