Problem with Dancing with the Stars Recording Series

1061 Views 8 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Lee L
I have set Dancing with the Stars to record the entire series. If I go to the Prioritizer and To Do List, it only shows 1 episode (tonights episode). If I scroll through the guide to next Monday (10/13) Dancing with the Stars is scheduled but it does not have an (R) next to it.

I have other shows scheduled to record and they are all picking up the episodes for next week.

Out of curiousity, I scheduled Dancing With the Stars to record the entire series on my other HR21. Both HR21s only are picking up this evenings show.

All of my Series that I have set to record were done on the unit itself, not using the DVR Scheduler on the web.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would keep an eye on this but not be too concerned. With all the rebooting that was going on yesterday, it's a fair bet that it will take the prioritizer some time to recover.
I figured it may be a side effect of the issues everyone had yesterday. The only thing that made question it is that its picking up both this weeks and next weeks showings of The Biggest Loser, Grays Anatomy, and the Office. It seems only Dancing with the Stars is affected. At least for the shows I have scheduled.
Check it tomorrow and see what you see. If there's a problem, recreate the series link.
I like the fact that the HR2x will complete the tasks of populating ToDo in the background cause it sure beats waiting for a few minutes on the HR10-250, but you do have to keep that in mind when things like this happens. I always just check back the next day and it is usually there no problem.

Respectful disagreement here. They solved that "wait" problem on the HR10 with s/w release 6.x, on a slower CPU with less memory!

I hate having to remember to constantly check the TODO list. I prefer to know my newly-scheduled recordings are OK with the current GUIDE data right after I schedule them. :)
Guess I'm on the other side of the fence.. I just set series links from the guide and forget them.

That works if your TODO list isn't as busy as mine, I guess. :) I currently have over 200 items in the one on my main HR. :eek2: /steve

I thought about mentioning that but figured it would be too hard to work in since while they did improve it from waiting literally 10 minutes to around 30 seconds to a minute, I will have to admit this is one area where the HR2x supasses the HR10.

THen again, I could also record 65 different shows on the HR10...
