Re: [DVR] DVR recording every show

This was due to an issue with Macrovision. A fix was put in place to resolve this problem 7/16. Due to the way scheduled recordings are stored on the hard drive for 14-16 days of data delivered the issue will not fully self clear until 7/30. You can manually correct this problem by deleting the series recording and rescheduling the series recording. If you do this it should no longer be recording old episodes if you have "New shows only" selected.

What if you power cycle the box, will it redownload new and corrected guide data?

No becasue the data has already been locally cached on the DVR hard drive. Even if you power cycle the DVR it still has that data cached. The only way to fix this is to eaither wait until the DVR has to look for new data 12-14 days, or delete the series recording and then set up a new series recording. This effectively makes the DVR go grab the next 12-14 days worth of data for that series. Kind of a pain if you have multiple series recordings scheduled, but better than having to keep deleting multiple recordings over the next 2 weeks in my opinion. Personally I will be deleting and re-building my series recordings later this evening.

Yeah, I have about 48 season recordings set. Granted, some of them are no longer in season ie) American Idol, but they are all in there. I think I'll wait it out.

I had a recent power failure, and the Guide did not have a history right away, but it is recording extra Royal Pains episode I've seen and deleted before.

Powering down is not the solution.

Well it's 7/30 and I still have the problem, now when is this going to be resolved?
