I really thought it was odd that I had no scheduled recordings. Looking on my social media shows that I watch were talking about last nights episode or what’s coming up on this weeks show. So I dug into things yesterday with some Google searching.
The only only change I made was to stop the recurring recording of the repeats of The Big Bang Theory. Oddly enough that must have coincided and/or cause a problem with the TV guide data not refreshing properly.
I did a reset on the DVR last night to force a guide update, it took three resets to get this to resolve. I had to reboot my Residential Gateway a total of two times. Then when I gave up and called for support as soon as I got a live person on the phone, magically everything started working again. However, I still had no scheduled recordings.
This is rather odd but I resolved it by touching each series that I record. I had to tell it to record new & repeat shows instead of new only. Save it and then change it back to new only. I also took time to delete the outdated series/shows that have ben cancelled so that helped clean things up. It was a painful process and this consumed the bulk of my evening, which I had already anticipated.
Now I am keeping a watchful eye on it to make sure that this is truly fixed. If problems start up again I’ll call back and request a replacement DVR. Hopefully, though fingers crossed I will not have to.
No this was not April Fools but I wish it was, unless it’s AT&T’s idea of an April Fools Joke.
