DVR metadata

This issue persists across hardware replacement and has been going on for weeks.

Main DVR box shows:

* approx. 545 recordings
* approx. 61% full

Satellite box shows:

* approx. 533 recordings
* approx. 99% full

Recently Deleted is empty on both boxes.

Gateway and both TV boxes have been restarted multiple times.

The satellite box was replaced with a new box and the exact same recording count and 99% full condition persisted immediately after activation.

The Xfinity Contact & Support page cannot determine the status of the satellite box and also reports a modem issue, despite internet service functioning normally.

This appears to be an account-level cloud DVR synchronization/provisioning problem rather than a hardware issue.

How can I get through the barriers Comcast has built between me and a human being who can fix this? The AI "assistant" is useless and the folks in the store tell me they can't do anything.

Typically, the Cloud DVR, and physical in home DVR storage are two separate metrics you would see details on. Have you run a system refresh on the devices after deleting content? It can sometimes take about 24 hours to fully refresh after stored content is purged.
