NBC Nightly News failed to record tonight.
I've been seeing and commenting on this for years. The show did air, but was NOT recorded because the "excuse" was that "the program is no longer available". This happens when the style of the Header, Wording in the Header, the text or style in the body or the picture in the listing is changed. I show that it recorded 12/12, but not the 13th, because the listing doesn't match the one that the timer was made from. My original timer is from 2015 on my H2 that was transferred to an H3 that was replaced, then the timer was transferred to the current H3. If you look at what machine that is or had recorded it, the Receiver ID of the H2 that the original timer was created on is listed as the machine that is the source recorded on instead of the STB name of the last H3. The recording"s" that did not record DID have "NEW" in the description in the listing. But not the big alone Red "New" and the format of the listing was different. I searched the schedule and saw that all next week the listing was changed and the time of the "skipped" programs was even showing wrong. Although the program is there to be recorded, they won't be because they have a different style listing. But all the episodes that do not record are all written the same, but not the same as the one the timer was created on. So I created a timer, #2, for the secondary styled listing and the schedule corrected itself and they are all set to record and at the correct times. I have taken thousands of pictures of the listings over the years to prove the point to DISH. But when I started getting rebutted in the forums, they came in handy. Part of my "day job" is making sure things such as this are exact over the course of time. And that can be years . . .
I have two, three timers set for certain programs due to this constantly occurring situation with how the timers follow the listing that they were created from verbatim and when the listing is changed, WHICH they change in the same two or three different ways always consistently though.
This whole thing is the timer not matching the listing that does not match the way the listing was when the timer was created. BUT the lack of the "NEW" does matter because it's part of the style of the listing. That's why I have mine, for that program, set for "Daily" since it's on almost everyday. That dealt with the "lack" of the "NEW" descriptor in the listing. So does M-F. It makes sense to a point, but there is no margin for "change" (error). This is where consistency in the Guide is key! That does not happen nor has happened for years with the DISH Guide.
Oh and don't delete the one timer, because when the listing changes to that format, it won't record. So you'll need a couple timers. I had 4, whittled them down to one using the "Daily" to circumvent the "NEW" issue. Now had to add another due to what you just discovered. Now I'm covered for the time being . . .
