When does the timer event list repopulate?

[Deadlocked]

I am DVRing the Mythbusters MegaMarathon on Science and was wondering when the event list will repopulate back up to 50. I'm hoping the receiver doesn't have to shut down completely to repopulate it.

I think I may know what you mean, but can you break it down alittle more for me, what you are looking for? If it is what I am thinking, automatically as the list reaches under 50 timers, it will show the next one. It is immediate.

It's not immediate on my end (VIP 622)

Ohh. I haven't messed with one of those in over a year. Sorry, I can't help at that point.

I'm thinking I'll see what it does overnight tonight and if the constant DVRing is causing it not to repopulate just skip an episode and let the receiver sit for an hour and do the guide download

Looks to be a lot of the same ones on a repeating cycle every six hours, maybe ?

Nope pretty much every episode ever aired (thus why it's 10 days long)

Edit: I'm going to skip the Buster Special that begins at 3:55 AM. That should give the system 65 minutes to download guide and repopulate the timer event list back to 50.

If I understand the OP: When I had ViP's it was immediate. That is if you mean the limit of EVENTS was reached (it was in the hundreds, I do remember--you can see the REAL number of all events if you select SHOW SKIPPED), as soon as the event completes and closes the recording, the DVR would then bring in the next event right away. I used to have such situations now and then and that is how it worked when I had ViP's. If you want more confidence, then display Show Skipped and see if a show is on the events list--EVEN IF IT IS SKIPPED AND WON'T RECORD IT STILL TAKES UP ROOM ON THE EVENTS LIST--a lot and delete that timer and that makes immediate room for new events. After the marathon, you can (re)create that timer you had deleted earlier.

I'm talking show timers (set to 50 episodes max :/ )
