Have you done a reset since the unwatchable recordings have started appearing and if so, did it correct the problem? If it did not, it may be time to try a full disk format and reset.
Lost Shows
I had given up on the HR20 and moved my HR10-250 into my Media Room. Then I read about the latest software releases and all seemed well. I moved the HR20 back into the Media Room and I was pretty pleased...until a few days ago. In that span, I have lost 10+ recordings to the "Keep or Delete" bug.
This is AWFUL. Earl, is DirecTV aware of the scope of the problem? There HAS to be a fix on the horizon, doesn't there???

I did that today...but from what I have read, the problem is with the momentary loss of signal and the HR20 interpreting that as the end of a program. How would a reformat fix that? And I would be pretty angry if I had to lose the programming I have now on he drive just so I can watch newer stuff. I just can't understand this. I have owned a Tivo for 7 years and the HD Tivo since it came out and I have never seen a similar problem. Why?LameLefty said:Have you done a reset since the unwatchable recordings have started appearing and if so, did it correct the problem?

That can't be the cause of the problem - I had a slate of 10 "unwatchables" in a row starting with the NFL Network HD recording I tried to make on ch. 95 a week ago. After a reset and deleting all the "unwatchables", all the recordings made since then have been playable. I couldn't possibly have had any momentary losses of signals on several different channels for one 26 hour period last week.jsg2020 said:I did that today...but from what I have read, the problem is with the momentary loss of signal and the HR20 interpreting that as the end of a program.

As an aside, I'm going to try to record the NFL game tonight on ch. 95 again and see if that triggers more "unwatchables" or not.
Last Monday night I had six programs scheduled to record, 2 at 8:00 PM, 2 at 9:00 PM and 2 at 10:00 PM.
I started watching one of the 9:00 PM shows around 9:45 PM by selecting it from the Playlist. It froze the live image on the screen and then I got the "Keep or Delete?" message. Repeated attempts produced the same result, so I decided to go back to live and rewind the buffer to the beginning. None of the trick play buttons would do anything, so I was unable to rewind to the beginning.
The same scenario repeated itself when I tried to watch one of the 10:00 PM programs by selecting it from the Playlist. At this point I rebooted and when it came back up, all six programs were gone, including the two 8:00 PM programs that I hadn't attempted to watch. I lost another recording on Sunday morning because of the same bug. It hasn't happened since, but I also haven't had both tuners recording for three hours straight since.
I'm on 0xFA. I had this bug occur only a couple of times in the month before OxFA, but now I've lost more recordings on one night than all previous lost recordings.

Exact same scenario for me. I live in san diego as well. I was watching the football game on 95 and at 8pm my HR20 needed to tape Survivor and Till Death. I went to watch a show in my playist and got the dreaded Delete or Keep message. I exited out and went to watch survivor from the begining and the live program screen froze when I went to rewind. Thanks Directv! what to do now?
Happend to me also, or I should say happened to the wife while I was out of town. Big mistake, especially after convincing her that it was okay to spend the $299 and $9.99/month HD package to replace the existing TIVO with something that appears to have bugs.
The lost shows went immediately to the "keep or delete" screen. I tried the exact samething with live TV and had no DVR functions with not being able to pause, rewind, etc. live TV.
Did a sysem reset thru the menu command and the "bad" shows were gone and the DVR functions were back.
I am going to have hard time with the wife if this happens again.
