  • Odd Recording Problem

    I hope I can explain this where you will understand.

    I have three recorded shows that were for some reason recorded only partially. All three went to 16 minutes. At 16 minutes if I press pause it goes to the "delete, don't delete" screen. But if I just let it run the whole show is actually recorded and playing, but cannot fast forward and if I rewind it goes back to the 16 minute mark.

    So basically the whole show is recorded the regular way for the first 16 minutes but after that it is played as if it was live. If I stop it and come back to the show later it starts from the beginning.

    Any thoughts on why? Thanks!

    I don't really get it, sorry to say. You say they were recorded only partially, but also that each is actually fully recorded?
    Been here a long time . . .

      Kind of hard to explain..., sorry

      It recorded as a partial recording at 16 minutes with the green play bar stopping at 16 minutes. If I press pause it will immediately go to the the delete screen. BUT..., if I do nothing and let it run it actually plays the whole show...,BUT..., as if I was watching it live with all the commercials. meaning I cannot fast forward it to skip the commercials.

      THEN..., if I pause it at any time during this live-like playback it will go to the delete screen and I would have to watch it again from the start.

      Sorry, don't know how else I can explain it. I appreciate you trying to figure this out

        I have to say that I haven't seen this before and it's a bit odd. You might try a kickstart 54 drive test, see:

          Thanks. I'll try that and see if this will fix it. It happened again yesterday on one of the two recordings.
