Maybe you can relay this suggestion to the people who make the firmware patches for UltraTV.
Let us save a backup of our scheduled series programming somewhere.
My gateway was just swapped today because my old one was having problems viewing any channel. I still had internet and netflix though. The tech came and tried to restore it but ultimately he had to do a swap. This meant I lost all my saved DVR programs which I knew was going to happen.
What sucks is I had to go in and set up all my series recordings again. I had over 30 saved series recordings. Some of the shows are not currently on (in between seasons) so I couldn't set up those.
I'm asking if we could somehow save all the series recording information to a file maybe so if our gateway is swapped, we can upload it and get everything back. There is already a backup/restore function for the router which I did before the gateway was swapped so I got all my router settings back at least.
And even better - make a lot more recent episodes available for on-demand viewing so you can watch things you missed on the DVR or when your DVR breaks and is replaced.
I might jump to Comcast soon though and I'll be back at the beginning anyway. I'm moving this month. I really like Ultra but the cost keeps creeping up.
