[TV] new DVR still seems to have problemsgot rid of the Samsung dvr with problems and got an old/new dvr Sci Atl Explor. 8300HDC. It was working great until this week; yesterday I noticed that the Monday night shows were sparse, so I checked on the guide and saw that 3 shows that had been set up were NOT scheduled to tape. So I checked out my recording specifics and it said to RECORD ALL, KEEP ALL.? Went in and manually set these 3 (on channel 6 CBS?) to record. Do not know why these did not automatically get set up ?
help, Laraine |

Dunno Laraine but it sounds as if something didn't get set right when you initially set them to record. |

but all my shows are set up the same way; there was nothing different with these 3, and they did record last week?
pulled plug which caused unit to reboot, and will see if it helps |

that is the same problem I was having after the update to the new guide, etc. I would set up the series and if lucky all would record however sometimes it would not. (and there was no conflict) I have since changed the dvr to a cisco from the samsung from the 8300. Its working better but still problems when I noticed it was not recording two days ago I manually hit record it came up with two were going to be recorded did I want to stop one of them I said no. Then I went in and moved one of the shows to a different time. When I hit record this time on the show it would not record at all, nada nothing happened. Just to make sure I went to a different channel and hit record and boom started to record that show. Went back to the show I wanted to record and it still would not record. Seems like when I told it not to record initially it remembered that command and nothing would change it. Luckily I am recording on both dvrs the same shows until I can find out what is going on. Strange thing is its only in the same room. All the other rooms record properly. |

wow, I thought I was the only one with problems. thanks. makes me feel better
we only have the 1 dvr, but the samsung never worked right for me either. went thru a bunch of others way back. until this one, which seemed to work o.k. even after the update, but now wants to drive me crazy. |
