Recording Option Unavailable

I want to record the channel (non specific program) itself-which I believe gives you up to 8 Hrs.   Why am I seeing

this message on all 5 of my boxes that prevent me from doing so? Is this a temporary glitch? Under the above heading

it says " recording on this channel is unavailable". Since this message is on all channels on all 5 of my boxes boxes, and there is no

error code, logic tells me this is on your end.  Someone on your team can easily prove me wrong by trying to duplicate

what I am trying to do and report back on this thread whether you can record, or see the above message.
