For the past two days, the information being displayed in the channel title bar as I move across channels or hit the info buttin is not matching up to what is actually being shown on TV. At the current moment, I am getting channel and program information for programming from 8:30PM LAST NIGHT (2/9/08).
And if I go into the guide, the time frame displayed is correct, but it does not jump to the channel I am currently on.
I had this problem once last week, and after restarting the box lost all of my recordings and scheduled recordings, so I am not going to do a restart here.
The very interesting thing about this, I was having some serious problems last night - had a program scheduled for recording at 9PM, and I was watching something else, the red light came on, everything looked fine. I flipped to the channel that was recording about 9:30, and it looked like the program had just started?? I then checked the guide to see if the program had changed times, and it hadn't... checked the TiVo Recordings, and it showed the program started recording at 9. Started to playback the partially recorded program, and it was fine. It's almost as if when I tuned into that channel, TiVo started PLAYING the recorded portion, instead of giving me live TV. I was finally able to get out of this twilight zone by swapping tuners and using the playback buttons to kick everything back into sync I would guess. Also when this happened all of the channel and program info displayed correctly, but I guess overnight that went back to its messed up state. I tried the tuner swap again today, but now that will not work to get the info bar back to normal.
This is very odd behavior, and I can't tell if it is a messed up box, the TiVO software, or Comcast mucking things up.
Any thoughts??? It is starting to drive me a little crazy... especially last night's adventure, I really thought I was losing it!
Thanks.
