I've got a weird one. Seen on two different Roamio Pro boxes (older gui). I'm posting here since I assume it's not specific to Roamio. I did try searching and found similar problems, but nothing exactly like this.

I have a Season Pass, all channels, for F1 racing. This records from various ESPN channels.

Earlier today my F1 folder had these programs:

Azerbaijan Grand Prix Qualifying
Azerbaijan Grand Prix Practice 3
Azerbaijan Grand Prix Practice

I started watching Qualifying. Something they said made me want to go and watch Practice 3. But when I went back to my folder, I saw:

Azerbaijan Grand Prix Qualifying
Azerbaijan Grand Prix Practice

the Practice 3 show disappeared. Even though it was there just a few minutes before.

I checked History, and the show says "Not Available", No Longer In Guide. But when I selected it within History, it let me Watch now, My Shows.

Afterward my F1 folder had:

Azerbaijan Grand Prix Qualifying
Azerbaijan Grand Prix Practice 3
Azerbaijan Grand Prix Practice

So the show was put back in My Shows.

I've often seen where a show isn't recorded at all due to program guide, but I've never seen a show get deleted like this after it was already recorded.

Known problem?

i'd suspect the recorded show was still in "my shows," just not listed in your f1 folder. folders can behave strangely, there are several behaviors that i've seen throughout the years and have been unable to explain. i have a couple of wishlists that frequently have overlapping titles, and it seems certain shows occasionally shift back and forth between those two folders, for no know reason.

I think it was in "limbo", for lack of a better word. Not in "my shows".

All of the following is to perhaps help someone else in the same situation. (It can't be all that common or there would have been more previous discussion about this.)

As I mentioned in my 1st post, I have the same season pass on two Tivos. I successfully rescued the show in the 1st of them, by viewing it starting at History.

For curiosity, about 8 hrs later, on the 2nd TiVo, I tried to go to History to see if I could recover the show there. Nope. History behaves differently.

When I select the show in History on the 1st TiVo, it says

Watch Now My Shows

but the 2nd TiVo says

OnePass options Modify Options

The 2nd TiVo doesn't present me with the option to watch the show. On that box the show disappeared from whatever strange state it was in. (It's not in Recently Deleted Recordings).

Just to be clear, when the show is highlighted in History on either TiVo, the message at right is the same: "No Longer in Guide" (INFO) for more.

One thing I noticed, and this was perhaps the cause of the bug:

Currently in the program guide, the show has a start time of 1:55 AM on Saturday. But in History, the show has a start time of 2:55 AM on Saturday!

The timestamp on the recovered show is 1:55 AM. So there was perhaps some transitory glitch in the start time.

It's clear to me this is a TiVo software problem, not a hardware problem with one specific box. Both TiVos had the same problem in displaying the show in my F1 folder.
