4k PVR not recording as per schedule
Hello, I have been with Videotron for only a few months now and i am getting a little frustrated with the PVR. There are shows programmed to record daily/weekly and the PVR seems to have a mind of ...
Hi!
We actually suggest deleting the offending planned recordings (press on 'list' twice to see the future recordings), and reprogram them. This usually fixes the issue. But if it persists, tech support will be able to investigate in the box's configuration.
I have done it both ways but i always modify to make sure it is scheduled the way i want it to be. Normally i will program through the guide and do the modification. Why would that be different from manually?
I also have the opposite problem. Recently i programmed a show to record every monday night at 9 pm. It has been doing so without issue since day one, despite there being many replays during the week of this show. Then there was a "marathon" of the show on a saturday and the PVR recorded 12 episodes....it just seems very unreliable
if you program from the guide and select keep all episodes, I believe it will scan the guide regurarily and record what would be missing. sometimes it does a poor job... and will miss an episode if something has changed in the naming for the show.
if you program manually, I guess it won't check the guide... but I could be wrong.
I guess i will try reprogramming the shows and see what happens. I have had a few issues since making the switch so i'm a little frustrated. Thank you for your help!

On which channels are you having problems?
When I was with Videotron, I rarely had issues when recording... but I was recording mostly French shows.
I believe that the guide is coming from their TV Hebdo branch (I could be wrong)... maybe it's not as good on English (mainly American) channels...
it is usually american channels like ABC, CBS, NBC, sometimes CTV too. It is rarely french channels. YOu are no longer with Videotron but on the forums?
