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.

  • Why won't my iMovie record my voice over? I have a previous voice track that I recorded yesterday that worked, but today it won't.

    Why won't my iMovie record my voice over? I have a previous voice track that I recorded yesterday that worked, but today it won't. I tap the necessary place each time, and tap it again to stop recording...has anyone ever had that problem before?

    Hi
    Will You try
    A. Do this Voice over in a brand new Project
    and if this doesn't work
    B. trash iMovie pref and try again
    I have a very faint memory of problem when adding two or more voice over to one project - but it can all be just a bad dream. (It's a function I never use - I use a miniDV Camera or other recorder to do my narrative - then import this as .aiff audio and use this in my movies as any other audio without any problems - so it's a totally different way to handle audio in all)

  • Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

    Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2  year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy.  Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me.  These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE??  WHY?   A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones...  Please tell me why?  All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
    Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue.  I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone. 
    A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA.  Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
    I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone.  That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them.  That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with. 
    Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country.  I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
    I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
    A response would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

  • HT4591 Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

    I'm running Snow Leopard and Motion 5.0.4. Software Update doesn't list anything for Motion, but the release notes say it's up to 5.0.7! Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

    Thanks! The problem I had was that I simply needed to download a new version from the App Store. I had honestly completely forgotten about the App Store. I'm on 5.0.7 now.

    LP content can only be downloaded on a computer's iTunes (or 1st gen Apple TV), you can't download them on an iOS device - and I haven't seen anything that say it will change in iOS 8. If you don't have a computer then at the moment you won't be able to download/view LP content

    After you buy an album with iTunes LP on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the album's songs will download directly to the device. The iTunes LP will download to iTunes on your computer when you choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.

  • Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach to apps

    Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach of no questions asked refunds within 15 mins if you aren't happy with an app?  I have countless apps that I have lost money purchasing because after installation they don't do what I want.
    ITunes ripping the public off, one app at a time!

    It either A) shows me a white screen where the store should be, B) shows me the white screen with iTunes Store written in the middle or C) actually shows me the store, but as though it can't read all the sophisticated coding and wants to convert it into just plain ol' HTML.
    With those symptoms, I'd check through the following document:

  • Why won't my MacBook recognize the install disk?

    Why won't my Macbook recognize the install disk?  I want to run the Apple Hardware Test, but the computer will not boot from the install disk, it keeps ejecting the disk.

    Several possibilities -
    The disk may be from a different model of computer.
    The disk itself may be damaged.
    The optical drive in your MacBook may have gone bad. Can it read other DVDs?

  • Why won't AirPort Connect to the internet?

    The green indicator light is on, why won't AirPort connect to the internet? Here's my config http://localhostr.com/files/cfee4c/Problem.zip

    Hi Stress Test:
    Thanks very much for the reply. I've actually sorted out the problem since posting - just a few minutes ago. I reset the AirPort and reconfigured everything in manual mode with the ethernet cord from my computer connected to the AirPort. I then disconnected the ethernet cord, rebooted the modem and AirPort, did a bit more troubleshooting and suddenly I was connected to the Internet! Still not sure exactly what I did that fixed the problem, but everything is working ok now.

  • Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

    Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

    Ting is a "MVNO", a virtual network provider; basically, they're a reseller of Sprint's cellular network, only with way, way, better pricing than basically anyone else. They don't do "contracts", and they don't charge separate fees for everything. So if you had five phones on an account, you'd pay $6/phone, plus a single fee for all the data. No $20-per-line "data plans". If I moved my current six phones (including friends and family) to Ting, I'd pay about 70% less per month for cell service... But I'd have to buy the phones up front. Which I'd do, but I have a couple people who want iPhones, and Apple-or-Sprint (it's not clear which) is not willing to let Ting do them.

  • Loadjava puts the whole program on one line

    Hi,
    I have used the loadjava facility standalone and within Oracle9i jDeveloper and found that when I upload the java source, it puts the whole program on one line. Also if I have left blank lines in the source code, they appear as 'null' in the stored procedure.
    See below is my code:
    package mypackage1;
    public class HelloWorld
       public static String world ()
          return "Hello world";
    }and this is what it looks like if I open the Java classes in jDeveloper:
    package mypackage1;nullpublic class HelloWorld{   public static String world ()   {      return "Hello world";   }}nullI am using a windoes 2000 box.
    Why is this happening?
    Thanks
    Jag

    Thanks, i'll try it out,
    However, it isn't just the code that appears on one line. All teh functions and packages all appear on one line and they are generated either by JDev and hence are out of my control.
    You would have thought that this would have been one of the types of things the JDeveloper development team would have tested, so i'm hoping it just a configuration somewhere.
    Thanks
