Ever since the last software update I have been having the same flakey season pass problem other have widely reported.
The net result is we have gotten religious about reviewing our to do list nightly and manually setting shows to record when they show up in the "History" area as no longer scheduled to record. What's annoying is some shows keep pushing to this even after I manually set them up...
But that's not the new issue. As of last night, we noticed a new strange behaviour. The To-Do list History worked normally, alllowing us to scroll aproximaely 14 days (I didn't look precisely but it was around two weeks) into the furture to see what was no longer scheduled to record for whatever reason. And if I went into the "View Upcoming Episodes" within a given show, I would accurately see if it was scheduled to record up to 14 days out.
But when we scrolled through the To-Do list itself, it stopped after only 5 days from now. So individual shows would list an episode would record 10 days out for example, and the History would say what wasn't recording 10 days out, bu the To Do list itself acted like it had no data after 5 days out.
Has this been reported already or is it happening to others? Am I basically SOL until they fix their latest issues?
Man, the entire point of a DVR has kind of gone out the window with D* lately. I have a 10-250 and an HR-20 and now I have to spend as much time babying them to assure they record as I would have manually setting up shows with an old VCR these days -- they with the HR-20 I still can't predict in advance whether the recording will be corrupt. Fun stuff. My wife is ready for me to dump D* altogether.
