Can't record more than 2 shows at a time

Just recently started having this problem. Can't record more than 2 shows at a time. The weird thing is the show that starts an hour earlier and has no conflict with any other program also won't record since I have 2 recordings starting right after it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

No. This is the only X1 box that we have. No other DVRs of any kind.

Hello, @Ayz, thanks for providing more details about this recording issue. I'm sorry you are not able to record more than 2 shows at once. I know that's not how the equipment should work. We can try reactivating the X1 DVR and scheduling an appointment if needed. Just send over a private message with your name and service address. If you have never sent us a PM this link can come in handy. The "Private Messenger" section at the bottom is a good reference. https://comca.st/2MQgWeD

I have the exact same problem. With so many new shows it is very frustrating to miss so many shows.

I’m having the exact same issue and just received a new X1 box a few months ago. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hello, I see you are having similar issues as well. We know everyone's situation is unique, and we can help you troubleshoot as well. I can understand how this sudden change would be frustrating, but we are here to help. I would love more information about your equipment. Did you have this issue before you received the new X1 box, or did it start after the swap? Do you currently rent a DVR box or use our X1 Cloud DVR service?

I don’t recall having the issue prior to swapping boxes but I’ve mainly noticed it recently due to more shows coming back. I am currently renting an X1 DVR box.
