I've had this happen at least twice, so it's NOT a fluke. Something VERY wrong is going on with my Hopper With Sling.
I've had several incidents recently when setting up a one-time timer for the next day, or several days later, while three series timers are due to record. I get the conflict resolution screen, and I select a series that I know will be repeated later in the night to skip. (This has always been the ONLY series that airs repeats, so I'm not sure why the receiver couldn't figure that out on its own, but so be it -- it always defaults to skipping one that does NOT repeat.) At that moment, everything looks OK, the repeat shows as scheduled to record. The next day, however, the repeat is NOT scheduled to record, and in fact the original showing doesn't even show up with a "skipped" indication. When I go into the timer list, the series timer itself is nowhere to be found!
This started happening sometime this spring. The timers that have disappeared have all been on The History Channel because, as I said, it's the only channel that repeats episodes. The conflicting series have been on broadcast networks, but not on networks that are on the same transponder so it can't record all of them. The one-time events have all been on an RSN.
