DVR issues...
Does anyone else ever have a problem setting your DVR to record "ALL Episodes" of a program? For some readon, when I try to schedule my machine to record a weekly program, it doesn't always turn red and "take".
For example, I tried to schedule Dirt to be taped every week last night. When I go in to do it and choose the correct recording schedule, once I hit accept it doesn't turn red on my channel guide and won't tape. I have to re-schedule all my recordings every week by "one episode".
This isn't everytime, sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't...

Re: DVR issues...
I tried doing that for Prison Break, and for some reason it was recording a show on Wednesdy, but aying it was Prison Break, which is Mondays.
After that, I learned not to go at it again, and literally record everything I want to watch on a weekly basis.

Re: DVR issues...
Did you choose the option for it to record all episodes rather than just one?

Yes, and when I hit the yellow triangle to accept, it just doesn't work.

Re: DVR issues...
It wont record it if it is a rerun if you record it as "first run on this channel only"
Otherwise, I would exchange the box.
For some reason mine wont record Oprah but this is the only show it wont record automatically.

Re: DVR issues...
have you rebooted the box in awhile? if not I would get another one from cablevision - it's free, you just have to get there with it.
If a show is off season, occassionally I will get a random show recorded as the name of one of my record all shows, but I don't think it has ever not recorded something new.

I've never rebooted. Maybe I'll try that tonight.
It's not recording and calling it something else, it's just not recording every week like I try to set it up to do! It's so frustrating too!!!
