Weird operation of DVR... Space calculator...

777twist

I may just have to reset my DVR, but I noticed that it hasn't been recording some shows...not all shows, just some. Specifically Showtime's DEXTER and CALIFORNICATION. I have checked the guide and I seem to remember them saying FIRST RUN, but they didn't record.

Also, I'm not sure my box is reporting the correct hard drive space left. I don't have that many programs, but it's like 70% full.

Definately check the guide to make sure it is listed as first run. FYI Inc (the company who provides the guide data) is very bad about marking shows correctly. THe issue has been discussed alot on the forum and awhile back Verizon ran an online survey about it.

As to the percentage calculator, HD programs take roughly 3% storage space per hour of content. DO the math and if the percentage indicator is off, the only fix I have seen is to cycle the DVR. Unplug for atleast 10 seconds and plug back in.
