Why are some scheduled shows not recording?
New to Spectrum and I am having the same reoccurring problem. I set up recordings for the entire week on Mondays and make sure they are showing in scheduled. During the middle of the 1st week, I noticed that the 3 shows that were set to record on Friday and Saturday were no longer listed under scheduled recordings, so I scheduled them again. For the next 2 weeks, I had the same issue. I watch shows soon after they record and delete right away, so storage is not an issue. I am able to record and watch other shows earlier in the week from those channels without issue. It is very odd that only the scheduled recordings from late in the week are disappearing.

Hi @Satch,
Thank you!
Yes, it is happening only to the shows scheduled to record at the end of the week. I just went to the DVR to check and one Thursday night show and the only scheduled Friday night show are not listed under scheduled recordings anymore. I had none scheduled beyond those two. It is consistently 2 or 3 shows that get dropped. My DVR is only 4% full and I have rebooted. I guess a service call is my next step?

Which channel? Hallmark?

Discovery and NBC this week. Pretty sure it has happened with CBS in the past.

When this happens, do you notice the disaffected programs to have coincidentally become available on demand?

I have an HD-DVR box.
I am able to find the missing recordings on demand, usually the following day, maybe two days after.
Thank you for the info.

Right, Satch, although that may be a programatical fault with on-demand availability. After a network suddenly makes a program available on demand, the next time the guide updates, it’s as if any current listings for that program get overwritten along with the record setting. With Hallmark, that was indeed Wednesday night—Thursday morning if my recollection is correct. But with Hallmark, the on-demand availability seemed to absolutely coincide with the effect so maybe this is not entirely the same story.

Right, Satch, but it's my understanding that all of the programs do record as long as the record setting sticks or is re-upped in time after inexplicably disappearing mid-week, and the type of listing update or overwrite i'm talking about has only to do with on-demand availability roll-out, which is far more easily noticeable via Spectrum Guide, for example, than i-Guide for another example.

Nothin’ but the house rent, Satch. Good advice! If i ever suggested otherwise, i don’t believe there’s any mutual exclusivity between recordability and on-demand availability. I think any scheduled program is recordable regardless of whether it’s also available on demand. It’s just that when the on-demand availability so happens to contemporaneously roll out after the record setting and before the scheduled air-time, it’s as if the listing and, thus, the record setting, gets overwritten at which point it can be re-upped.
