I have a Series 3 HD DVR with an expansion drive. I've had the unit setup for about 5 months.
Periodically, when I'm not watching television, I'll look at the front panel of the unit and notice which programs that it's recording. However, when I later go to watch the program, it's nowhere to be found!
The most recent example of this weirdness happened this morning. I had just gotten out of bed and wandered downstairs to make coffee. When I walked past the DVR, I looked at the front panel and noticed that the Woody Allen flick, "Annie Hall", was being recorded. Being a fan of this movie, I thought "great" and looked forward to watching it later. In the afternoon, I turned on the television and navigated Tivo to the wish-list that I had setup for Woody Allen. There were several other movies listed that had been recorded days or even weeks earlier, but no Annie Hall! WTF?!
I can think of no reason for this happening. To make things even more weird, it seems to happen to the same program, repeatedly. For example, what I described above for Annie Hall was the second time I've seen this happen for this particular movie. I also saw this happen with a recent showing of "Pulp Fiction". The problem doesn't happen often, but it does seem to regularly happen with movies that I really want to watch. On the other hand, it never seems to happen with content that I'm not that interested in! I know that sounds paranoid, but it really seems true!
Any ideas are welcome.
