Mine does that sometimes, but often, it works properly.

Understandably, the DVR has trouble paying attention on these channels. :)

All you have to do is keep pressing the DVR button, and it updates the free space.

I forgot about the system info screen randomly appearing.. I get that as well.. In fact, it could well be that when it comes on, the timers won't fire, as I think that it was those days that my timers broke. Anyways, I've been rebooting every morning, and it hasn't happened again...

I don't think it's approximate, I think it is the absolute maximum amount that you can record.... That is, if you recorded the Color Bar channel :rolleyes:

I haven't been following this forum recently and did a few searches and didn't see this topic.. I've been having a recurring problem recently where on occasion a timer won't fire.. It says it's recording (The guide, not the red light) but nothing is there. Also, when I try to record manually...

If they activated the USB port for this activity, then you could connect it to your computer which is connected to the 'net.

I was just flipping through my DVR List and my schedule. It seems that all the shows recorded on tuner #1 seems to be named incorrectly for me. These are all recorded using NBR (new & all). I never had a manual timer (selected from guide) record under the wrong name. I haven't used Dish Pass yet.

I'm having a problem that just started last week. I will record an episode of '24' and it will show up as "Nanny 911", which happened to be the program that was on just previously. Or "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" when I was recording "Without A Trace". It is intermittent, shows up on one or...

You can leave it on.. It will show a countdown telling you when it's about to change the channel to record the show... If you try to change the channel once it starts recording, it will warn you that if you do this, it will stop recording and give you an "OK/Cancel" choice.

Interesting that you should mention Battlestar Galactica.. I discovered an interesting facet to our NBR.... I'm not sure if it was mentioned before. I wanted to set up a timer for the new series. I found the new episode this friday in the guide and accidently clicked on "all episodes."...

I believe its a variable bitrate as they warn that different shows will take up different amounts of space depending on how much action.

It used to only be a playback issue... Now it seems to be on live TV as well. At least it's not freezing for me, just a audio dropout followed by pixelation. It's also storing it that way, since it's still there when I do a rewind.

Why is that? TV2 does have composite output too..

So that could mean that after recording a one hour show (assuming it had "typcal" recording size) that the machine would say that it had 99:15 left. It's possible, due to the hard-coding, that when it says "0 hours left" that it has 140 hours actually on the drive. It is possible that the "100...
