Can't stop scheduled recording in progress after 4.41?

[KAB]

I swear (I really think) I have done this before, ie after the movie is done on Starz and stopping after the movie is really over instead of recording the promo filler till the next program. But, when I hit the stop button, nothing happens. Go to Daily Programs, highlight the recording, and no stop recording option. Was I dreaming this all before? I tried manually recording a program (hit record button) and then Stop would let me end it. Confused!

You have to delete the Timer
Menu > Timers > hi-lite prog to stop rec> Delete > Yes > Yes

If you don't find a better answer to this... go to a channel you're not recording, open PIP, SWAP PIP, change channel. I think you'll get prompted that recording will stop and you have to return to "Live Mode" or something similar to that.

Not great but it should bust you out of recording.

IIRC it's been like that for quite a while, maybe always that way on the 622 but might depend on whether it's in single or dual mode. I know a scheduled recording on a 508 could be ended just by pressing the stop button. The quickest way to stop a scheduled recording on the 622 is to hit the channel up or down button and answer yes to the stop recording prompt, that's the one I use anyway.

FYI, didn't see this before

PVR > My Recordings > select program > Select > Stop Recording

I noticed this happens to me when I'm recording and I'm in shared view (I think that's what it is called). But when I'm using both tuners for only one TV, it does not happen.

Some (me) use Dual Mode with Record Plus enabled to TV2

As in my original post, tried that. Did not get the Stop Recording Option. I know I used to. I have always been in dual mode, never in single. Record Plus set to TV2, as always.

Maybe it's a DiSH mandatory recording?

Mine gets switched back and forth depending on whether the grandson is over or not, that's why the IIRC Your correct about deleting the timer, but I wonder why the Stop Recording option doesn't always show in Dual mode.

I switch record plus all the time, the 'Stop Recording' option is available in TV1 recording in Dual Mode with Record Plus enabled to TV1 but not when RecPlus is enabled to TV2. I think deleting the Timer for stopping TV2 recordings is the only way now.

Dual Mode with Record Plus enabled to TV2
Menu > Timers > hi-lite prog to stop rec> Delete > Yes > Yes

Dual Mode with Record Plus enabled to TV1
PVR > My Recordings > select program > Select > Stop Recording

That's starting to make sense now. Thanks.

can you explain it to ME? I guess I don't understand Record Plus. I have my 622 in single mode with record plus on tv2. Does it even matter when you're in single mode? I never output to a second TV.

In single mode, no.
