My Fios TV One DVR is starting to have a recurring problem where a show will appear to record properly, showing the proper channel, time and date and recording time under View Recordings, but simply exit back to the menu when we attempt to play the recording.
An older model started doing the same thing a few months ago; we took it to a Verizon store and had it replaced for a newer one of the same type. This one started doing it yesterday.
There is plenty of space available (9% full), the various cables are all firmly connected, and it is not attempting to record anything else at the same time.
Any thoughts as to a workaround to set this straight?

Fix FiOS TV Issues: Widget returned a "sorry, cannot do this at this time" error.

When you look at the available space on the DVR does it change as you add recordings?
If not, you may have another defective DVR.
I also assume you are trying to watch directly from the DVR, not through the app, correct?

First try unplgging the router and the Fios box. Plug the router back in after 3 minutes, let it stabilize, then plug the Fios box back in. See if you can play a recording. If not try this:
Main Menu > Customer Support > Top Support Tools > Fix Fios TV Issues
Also try this:
Main Menu > Customer Support > Top Support Tools > Self Diagnostics
And try:
Main Menu > DVR > Configure & Upgrade>Refresh Device
Just be aware this could delete recordings if there is a problem.
