Re: My DVR regularly fails to record at night

I've noticed a similar problem on my 6412: If I set up a Series Recording to record "All Channels," it won't record properly. It will only record one of the channels.

For instance, College Football Live is shown on both ESPN and ESPN2. Some days, it's on ESPN2 but it's not on ESPN. So I want it to record ALL Channels, so I don't have to worry about "which channel is it on today?" But it will only record ESPN for some reason.

So what I did, as a work-around, was set up 2 separate Series Recordings: One for CFB Live on ESPN, and one for CFB Live on ESPN2. The DVR has no problems recording all episodes at all times on the channels... but for some reason it just doesn't like the "record on all channels" option.

Try that "fix" and see if it works. Good luck...

I will look at this, but it doesn't really sound like the problem I'm having. My recordings actually start (no matter the channel) but get stopped almost immeadiately - and this only occurs in the middle of the night. During the day either channel will record just fine. Does this match the problem you had?

No, that doesn't really match the problem I had. My recordings never even started. But I figured it would be worth a shot. Good luck!
