Ok, so I'm a big fan of The Office and I have a "Find Weekly" recording
setup to record it on NBCHD (with my HDHomeRun) every week. Last
Thursday at around 10:00pm I flipped on the TV and went to find what I
thought would be the season finale waiting for me to view.
Instead, I discovered that Myth never recorded it. I immediately
went into the program guide, backed up a few hours to 7:30pm, and
highlighted the Office listing. It had a big "F" on it, which
said "Find weekly - previously recorded." When I drilled into the
listing further, it stated: <span style="font-weight: bold;">"This
showing was not recorded because this episode was previously recorded
according to the duplicate policy chosen for this title." <br>
<br>
</span>I found this a big odd considering that it was the season finale
and has never been aired before. The duplicate check method I
have setup for all my recordings (include this one) is "subtitle and
description". There were 2 other recordings in an adjacent
timeslot that evening - CSI and Grey's Anatomy - which both DID record
successfully. They are both from 8:00 - 8:30pm, and each occupies
a spot on the HDHomeRun. Not that that should matter since I also
have a PVR-150 that The Office could have fallen back on if for some
reason Myth felt that CSI and Grey's Anatomy would have
conflicted. Furthermore, I would think that it would have shown a
big "C" for conflict as a reason for not recording were that the
problem. <br>
<br>
I've been trying to do a little postmortem on why the recording failed
mainly because if it's something I did wrong I want to make sure I
correct it. For some reason, Myth really thinks that it was
previously recorded. I went into the Previously Recorded episodes
and scrolled down to The Office. As it turns out, there IS an
entry for the season finale with the correct subtitle and description,
and next to it the letter "P" for previously recorded. But
again, it never recorded and has never previously been recorded.
So I'm really stumped on this one. Anyone have any ideas or
things I could look at to analyze this? Thanks,<br>
