DVR Recording ending early

In NJ, the scheduled recordings are always cutting off before the show is over, it's like the clock is off by a minute.
This is frustrating for shows that tell you the result at the very end like Flip Boston/Vegas.
If I extend the show by additional minutes, it would eat into the starting time of the next show (since there is no way to delay starting show by 1 minute). This effectively would make the DVR a 1 tuner instead of 2.
e.g. 8pm to 9:01pm (I cannot have 2 shows recording from 9pm)
Any idea to go about solving this issue?

Same problem here. I had this problem with the Fios DVR. I upgraded to Quantum and still have the same problem with the media server. Shows are set to start on time and end on time. Instead, shows will start one minute early and end one minute early. I have set series options to extend end time by one minute. Because of Quantum, I'm able to do this and record two or more shows. The extended time does not work if another show on the same channel is being recorded after the first show. Even with the extended end time of one minute, the recording still stops early. An hour show should show record time of one hour one minute but usually shows less than this.

DVR starts and ends early and late

When viewing my recorded shows on the DVR most all start about a minute early and end about a minute before showends. Please tell me this can be corrected...

The DVR is programmed to start one minute EARLY and stop two minutes after the scheduled time. This is called 'soft padding'. As far as the ending early, the networks will run a popular show late so that people ‘hang around’ and miss the start of other programs. This is called "bridging".
Early starts are how the DVR works. If you are concerned with missing the end of a show because of this bridging, you could add the time at the end under "record options".

DVR Recording Space

I have had the X1 for about 2 years. Until recently, the DVR recording space indicator would reach 100% when my DVR filled up. Lately, the indicator never goes past 80%, and my shows are constantly deleted even when it appears there is space. Currently, the indicator does not go past 70%, and shows are deleted. Is there an issue with the indicator? It is very frustrating to think I have space available. I have been making sure my Deleted Shows are permanently deleted, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. The indicator seems to top out at 68%. Please explain why this is happening.

Same problem here which started on the evening of March 18th into early yesterday. I have 2 DVR's and both had recording issues for the first time. One showed 100% space used, even though there was just 43% used and anything that recorded was either not recorded or did for a few minutes. The other DVR cut off one show by 3 minutes, another recorded for 36 mins. and yet a few of them recorded in full. However,  yesterday's recordings just never happened. So it's Verizon's problem as I called them to fix this.
I told them I knew there was VOD outage nationwide and the tech said it shouldn't have affected the DVRs but he was getting calls about the same issues we are all having here.   He made me do the following and what it does is resync the hard drive to the DVR.
This was the command: On the FIOS TV remote, press STB, then press MENU. Scroll down and select "Settings". Next, highlight System Information. Now press on the remote 4883, then OK. Then press 2601 and then OK.   Each code updates something onscreen.
I got scared when all went black for awhile. All I saw was a black screen and 4 dashes on the STB. But it did eventually reboot everything. I kinda looked the reboot it always does. Hope it works.

More X1 Cloud DVR Recording Problems

For the past week I have been having issues with random recordings not showing up on the X1 Cloud DVR. The recording will occur on the physical DVR but will not record to the Cloud DVR. Yesterday evening I had a total of 6 scheduled recordings, with 2 of them failing to record to the Cloud DVR at their scheduled time. I purposely watched the actual DVR and the Cloud DVR (using my Android phone and the Xfinity TV app) when the recordings were scheduled to start. The 2 recordings that failed to start recording to the Cloud DVR were:Big Brother (S17, Ep 20) Channel 1005 @ 8:01pBehind Bars: Rookie Year - Is It Worth It? (S1, Ep 1) Channel 1330 @ 9:01p As soon as I saw they had failed to start on the Cloud DVR, I used the Android app to find them in the "Guide Listings" and hit the Record button. Prior to my hitting the record button, neither showed the red recording indicator. As soon as I hit the record button, the recording then showed up in the "Recordings" list on the Android app and my PC. If a Comcast employee can look at my DVR recordings and my Cloud recordings you will see that both shows display but each now has a different start time being that it took me about a minute before I could get the recording to start on the Xfinity TV app and website. Now, on to the second problem that I have been having with Cloud DVR recordings. Some of the recordings fail to play with a Stream 500 error, and will not play on any computer, tablet or phone. Others give an Error 900.primetime.102100 code. This occurred when trying to play back "Behind Bars: Rookie Year: Is It Worth It?" This is the show that I had to start the manual recording for since it failed to record to the Cloud DVR even though it was scheduled. This show will not play on any PC using Chrome, IE, or the new Edge browser in Windows 10, Vista or 8.1. It will play on the Android app on my phone or tablet. After trying to play it and failing, I scheduled the show to record another time and it worked. Here is the diagnostics output when trying to play on Chrome.

Video title Behind Bars: Rookie Year: Is It Worth It? It would be nice to get a more stable experience using the Cloud DVR, since I use it about 50% of the time when watching my recorded content.

Since Comcast doesn't seem to want to acknowledge a problem between the X1 DVR and cloud DVR recording schedules, I decided to post this issue to it's own thread. Looking at my recording schedule, I see a bunch of shows I have scheduled for Wednesday (Aug 12, 2015) that are not showing up on the Xfinity TV app or website, but show up on the DVR and the DVR Manager website. As you can see below, out of the 4 shows I have scheduled to record, only 1 is showing up on the Xfinity TV app and website. Since I have seen this in the past, this will end up with those 3 missing shows not recording to the Cloud DVR. Since I already see that my Thursday, Aug 13th, schedule is screwed up as well, I will be posting that as well.

Can Not Use LAST Button to go Back to DVR Recording

My LAST button works fine from chanell to channel. I can be watching a DVR recording, and the box will go back to the live channel I was watcing when I hit LAST. If the LASt button is pressed again, it does NOT go back to DVR. I know with Comcast, the LAST button would go back and forth from live to DVR recordings.
Anyone found a work around for this? We be nice to go back and forth from DVR to live TV with just using the LAST button.

This is one of the few things I miss from Comcast. Monday nights I'll be watching 24 and recording Raw. I would always switch over to wrestling during the commercials on 24. A previous easy button press now requires navigating menus.

Avi files ending early in Quicktime.

I'm running a mac pro on 10.4.11 with quicktime installed.
I have avi movies that i'm trying to watch and installed the div x codec into Quicktime.. The movies played without a problem via quicktime but the movie came to an end early as if there were no more file to play.
When we played the same file on a PC the movie finished to the end without problem.
Any help or suggestions???
thanks in advance...

MPEG Streamclip (free) can fix the broken timecode in your AVI's.

How do I copy the DVR recorded content to Laptop or any external drive.

How do I copy the DVR recorded content to Laptop or any external drive. Pl suggest.
Thx.

It is awkward but I have a Coax line out the DVR that goes to my Media Center Computer (which has the same multimedia software that is built into Vista) and then to my computer's TV tuner. (This is the same line out function that you use to send the DVR output to a VCR) Using my Media Center software, I can play the recorded DVR program and record that on my computer. Once in the computer, I can transfer the file by my wireless network to my laptop. It is a bit convoluted and requires a computer with a TV Tuner to record the program, but it can be done if I really want the item recorded to the computer.

Why won't my dvr record the whole program?

Why won't my dvr record the whole program I'm watching when I press the record button. It only records from when I pushed the button.
I can go through "menu" to "DVR" to "Create New Recording" to "Manual Recording" and then hit "OK" and it record from when I first started watching a program.
I used to only have to press record to do this.
I've "Refreshed Devices", Went through "Auto-fix MRDVR Issues" and ran both programs.
Still only records from the time I hit "Record", not back to when I started watching the program.
WHATSUP?

I have basically the same problem, although what's most confusing is it's not completely consistent. When I've been watching a program from the start, there have been times that I've pressed the Record button at some point in the show and everything has been recorded, including the buffered content. But most of the time, that does not happen. Even when I've been on the same channel the whole time and press Record, it usually only records from that point forward, and loses the buffered content. And if I've paused or backed up into the buffer at all, then pressing the Record button only records from that point in live TV forward.
I can't figure out whether there's something I need to do differently. There's more than one way to start a recording -- you can press the red Record button; you can press Info and Record Episode; or you can create a manual recording. I've tried these different ways and it doesn't seem to make a difference in terms of whether the buffered content is recorded or not. I also wonder if it's somehow tied to how much disk space is available.
Thanks for any suggestions or comments. I find this EXTREMELY frustrating. I was a DirecTV customer before and loved the way their DVR worked. I've been with Verizon for about 4 years now and still don't like it. The only thing I do like is the multi-room capability, which DirecTV couldn't offer at the time.

Songs ending early while listening from itunes match

itunes match songs are ending early. I have shuffled the tracks of a single album and the song is getting around 80-85% complete and then moving on to the next track. Was wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior. Iphone 4s using itunes match with a catalog song from a windows 7 computer last night. The tracks are from an album in the apple store.

Similar to the problem that I'm having. I started a discussion here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16759669#16759669
Are you having the problem on your iPod/iPhone or on your computer?
I'm curious, if you delete the songs from the computer and re-download them from the cloud, do you have the same issues on the computer as yoru iPhone?

Upstairs STB can't see the downstairs DVR recorded shows

Hi all,
I have the DVR downstairs and 2 STBs upstairs. As far as I can tell, the upstairs boxes are doing everything well except for one issue; they are unable to access and play the shows that I have recorded downstairs on the DVR. I have tried the suggested troubleshooting. I unplugged all 3 units and the router for 1 minute, then powered up the router, DVR, and STBs in that order (letting each finish before moving on to the next). The only thing I did since I got FiOS is to change the router SSID and also disabled broadcasting the SSID. I haven't changed the WEP that the technician entered. Do the STBs need the router to broadcast in order to be able to play the DVR-recorded content? Do I need to keep the defaults (I don't really want to broadcast the SSID).
I ran the diagnostics on the STB and everything looked good except for two items; "Remote DVR: Not Applicable" and "DVR Hub Connection: Failed." Are these normal or can they be the source of my problem?
Thanks in advance.

DVR Hub connection Failed is a problem. Call Verizon. For some reason - the DVR is not communicating w/ the router. The SSID is not the issue. Does your settop have an IP address?

Free Trial Period Ended Early

I just downloaded the Adobe Cloud Software on my new computer, after a day or two of use it ended my 30 day period? Can you Re-Activate Please, I really was starting to enjoy it's use.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Unfortunately, we don't have a way to reset the trial period if for some reason it ends early. Usually this occurs because of some conflict when it installed. My recommendation would be to test it out on a different computer if possible or if you did purchase it we do have a free 30 day refund policy if you are not satisfied.

Recording Finishes Early

About 1/3 of the time I find that a scheduled recording ends with about a minute or two to go: just when the episode is getting all its loose ends tied up.
I cannot find any way of fixing this. I have restarted the BT Vision+ box (black) and re-scanned all channels.
There doesn't even seem to be a way of setting recordings to run for an extra five minutes.
How do I fix this?

Songs seem to end early or run into each other.

First off, sorry if this, or anything similar has been asked or brought up before...
Anyhow, I purchased a 20GB iPod Color about two and a half weeks ago, and after loading song file which were already on my computer, and from CD's to my iTunes Library, and therefore also to my iPod, I've noticed that then I play some tracks they seem to end abruptly, as in a few seconds early.
I've checked the track times according to my iPod to the track times according to the albums themselves and both times match up, hence I don't understand why some songs seem to end early, even though the iPod display tells me the track length is the same.
I've also noticed that with some songs the end of one song seems to blend in with the beginning of the next. I also don't understand why this occurs.
When I play songs directly from my iTunes Library, in most instances this doesn't occur to the affected tracks in question [and when such tracks are played through Windows Media Player or from the CD itself it never occurs]. I've also deleted and reinstalled the tracks in hopes this would solve the problem but it hasn't.
Any insight as to why either of these issues happen or how to solve them, would be greatly appreciated, for honestly it's unnerving me. Thanks.

Dan, I see what you are trying to demonstrate but are you sure you have the example as you intended? In dbo.Test1, you're not making it to exec dbo.Test2. I think you're trying to have the error come from dbo.Test2, correct?
My intention was to demonstrate that an error will occur, not necessarily where the error will happen. I meant to select column b in dbo.Test1, in which case the same error occurs but in dbo.Test2. Of course, the reason for the error is that
the object name is resolved against the dbo.Test1 table instead of the intened dbo.Test1 table.
The Books Online also states that when 2 temp tables exist with the same name,
it is undefined which table the query is resolved against. So the only way to protect yourself is with table variables or different temp table names.
I ran the following under SQL 2008 R2 to illustrate the sort of strange behavior you might see if you don't follow this practice.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Test2
AS
CREATE TABLE #t(x INT);
INSERT INTO #t VALUES (2);
SELECT Test2Col = x FROM #t;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Test1
AS
CREATE TABLE #t(b INT);
INSERT INTO #t VALUES (1);
SELECT Test1Col = b FROM #t;
EXEC dbo.Test2;
GO
--fails in dbo.Test2
EXEC dbo.Test1;
GO
--dbo.Temp2 succeeds when run standalone
EXEC dbo.Test2;
GO
--dbo.Temp1 now succeeds because the temp table created by last dbo.Test2 run hasn't yet been cleaned up
EXEC dbo.Test1;
GO
--force recompilation on next execution
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE;
GO
--fails in dbo.Test2 because the temp table created by last dbo.Test2 run has been dropped
EXEC dbo.Test1;
GO

DVR recorded show under wrong program

I have the HD-DVR (but not the home media DVR). I recently had it set up to tape "Big Bang Theory" starting 5 minutes earlier and ending 5 minutes later and also "How I Met Your Mother" starting 5 minutes earlier and ending 5 minutes later. The two shows air back to back.
When I went to watch "How I Met Your Mother," the DVR had only recorded around 4 minutes 30 seconds of it. The DVR is only 20% full, so it's not a space issue. When I finally watched "Big Bang Theory" tonight, I noticed that when that show ended, even though the progress bar was pretty much at the end of the recording, the recording didn't stop. In fact, the entire episode of "How I Met Your Mother" was there, though it still was listed under "Big Bang Theory."
What's stranger is that when I checked the recording information for "Big Bang Theory" on my DVR, it claimed it only recorded 40 minutes, even though it recorded well over an hour.
Has anyone seen this before? It seems to me to be a bug in the DVR software, but I wasn't sure if anyone had seen this and/or had any suggestions?

Assuming that you get HBO are trying to watch the recording on the DVR that recorded it and not through another STB, I've only read one posting that said they recovered the recording by performing an Auto-Correct. Everyone else eventually gives up and deletes it. Give it a try and let me know.
Auto Correction Function
(Caution: this process will reset/reboot the boxes selected. If you are planning to use this function on a DVR, make sure that no recordings are currently in process or scheduled to take place in the next several minutes or partial loss of recording will occur.)
The functions below are either a remote control button or a menu item. Either press the remote control button or use the navigation arrows on the remote to find/highlight/enter the menu option.
Choose one of the following three pathways:
Menu > Customer Support > Fix FiOS TV Issues > OK
Menu > Customer Support > In-Home Agent > Fix FiOS TV Issues > OK
Menu > Customer Support > In-Home Agent > Set Top Box Auto Correction > OK
Regardless of which pathway you choose, they all lead you to the same place. After entering the Set Top Box Auto Correction menu, use the navigation arrows to highlight Auto Correct My STB/DVR, then press the OK button, then press the Right Arrow button. On the second page use the navigation arrows to highlight the box(es) that are malfunctioning, pressing the OK button to select each one (OR just press ' 1' to select all the boxes at once), then press the Right Arrow button. On the third page press the Right Arrow button. The box(es) will reset. Check to see if your problem is solved.
