My program didn’t get recorded. I set the recorder up to record something, and it’s
not in Now Playing List.
• If this happens, you can check Recording History for an explanation why the program
did not record. Recording History is the first selection available in the To Do List.
Here are some reasons why a program may not be available in the Now Playing List:
• The program may have been canceled by the network.
• You may have two season pass requests that were on at the same time this week.
Only one can be recorded, unless you have dual tuner, in which case only two can
be recorded at once. The recorder records the Season Pass (or Passes with dual
tuner) with the highest priority. To change priority settings on Season Pass
recordings, go to “Pick Programs to Record” and select “Season Pass Manager.”
• The program may have been deleted from the Now Playing List by someone else.
• You may have gotten a conflict when requesting another program, and the
proposed solution was to delete the missing program earlier than planned.
• The recorder may have lost power during the time the program was broadcast.
I haven’t scheduled enough programs to fill my recorder, but when I try to schedule
more programs, the recorder says there isn’t room.
• With satellite broadcasts, the amount of recording space the recorder needs varies from
channel to channel and from show to show. In general, the more action you see on
your screen, such as in fast-moving sports or action movies, the more recording space
is required. The space required for each show you record affects the total hours of
recording capacity in your recorder.
