All scheduled recordings gone

My DVR is showing that I suddenly have no scheduled recordings. Yet when I check the guide it shows red dots (i.e., scheduled series recordings) on several shows for later tonight. Rebooting the box did not help. When I check the online interface via my PC web browser, it also shows nothing scheduled for the next 14 days. But unlike the box, the online guide shows no red dots on tonight's shows. My DVR made several recordings last night and the one show I've yet to watch is still there. So something went haywire today.

I found the solution in another post:  Xfinity button -> Settings (gear icon) -> Device Settings -> Sync DVR.  My scheduled shows are back but I missed one recording from earlier in the day.

This worked but the scheduled recordings just disappeared again after like 20 seconds.

This is happening to our system on a recurring basis. Sometime rebooting one thing or another seems to resolve the problem, but this is time consuming and very frustrating. I have replaced the box on several occasions, but this is still happening. We want a permanent solution.

@ebjohnsoned This definitely should not be a recurring issue. If you have already swapped out your boxes then there must be an additional issue causing the boxes to lose connection to the network for the recordings to become out of sync with your box. If you could send our team a private message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.

 

To send a Private Message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, next to the bell icon, and then type or select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a chat. 

Here are the detailed steps to direct message us: • Click "Sign In" if necessary • Click the "Peer to peer chat" icon (upper right corner of this page) • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon • Type "Xfinity Support" in the to line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window • Press Enter to send your message

This is happening to me on 2 X1 boxes in two separate locations, so I doubt if it's the cable box problem. As per above comment from Xfinity employee, I see no chat option on this page. I have called CRs who have no solution. Resyncing the box fixes for a very short time.

Got the biggest run-around calling the support desk.  They insisted that recording from the Xfinity stream app is not possible, even though I do it 3-5 times a week, kept me on the phone for nearly an hour, reiterated that scheduled recordings is not an option on the streaming app, passed it off to the “advanced” team, which sent me an automated text an hour later that everything was fixed.  Either provide the service or don’t charge me for it. Oh, and if it wasn’t clear, nothing was fixed.

Prior post had a clue:

 Xfinity button -> Settings (gear icon) -> Device Settings -> Sync DVR

This worked - so far - scheduled now back, three full red dots viewed on GUIDE
- however, cannot press red button, or info button or use guide and record a show

- description on one of these tries said "recording conflict"

Now must wait to see if it now actually records a scheduled show

- or fails

- or resorts to circle with diagonal line  (ghostbuster icon)

@user_7efc25 Hello and thank you for reaching out over our Xfinity Community Forum. I am so sorry to hear that you were experiencing the same issues as well. It appears the issue has now been resolved for many of our users, and if not, we can try and account refresh to see if it resolved the issue, which it has for many of our valued Xfinity family members that the issue did not resolve itself for. Are you still experiencing the same issue again today? -Christopher

Three of us on DSLReports also had the same problem in the thread, All SCHEDULED recordings disappeared this morning, now back. In my case, all scheduled recordings disappeared from the web access, from the Roku, and from the XG1v4. Dong a Synchronize on the XG1v4 did nothing. I couldn't schedule a show from the Roku. But when I attempted to schedule a series from the XG1v4 that was suppose to have already been scheduled, I didn't receive immediate add, but within a few minutes the whole schedule was back and visible on the Roku, the web browser, and on the XG1v4.
