I have been having intermittent issues with recurring timers set for new episodes of CBS shows (ViP 622- four years old). I am recording them from my OTA local channel (WRAL-TV5). It started at the beginning of the new fall season. Specifically on Friday night - Hawaii Five-O (9:00) and Blue Bloods (10:00).
The curious thing is Undercover Boss (8:00) has never missed a beat. It does not happen every week, but three to four times this season. I originally chalked it up to the timer. So, I deleted the original timers and set up new ones. It still missed a couple more times after that.
Checking the completed recordings shows the timer was completed and the show recorded. But, there is nothing in the folder to watch. I thought that it had something to do with Friday night only and then it missed a daytime CBS soap opera that my wife likes to watch. That has only happened once so far, thank goodness.
I have an outdoor antenna about 15 feet in the air. The signal strength is at 92 - 95%. No other channels have failed to record, OTA or Satellite.
I am going to set up new timers of these shows for the satellite feed of WRAL-TV and then for another CBS affiliate (WNCT-TV9) that I can get from down east OTA and see if this occurs on these feeds.But, I have to retool all our timers since I will have to move the antenna to point east instead of west. (Worst case, I have two recordings of these shows)
But, if anyone has any ideas on the possible cause of these completed timers with nothing to watch, I would love to hear it.
Thanks in advance.
