DVR won’t record

DVR won’t record anything on cable. So frustrating. Spent over an hour on the phone with support but couldn’t fix my issue. By googling I see this was an issue 10 months ago. Fix it Comcast! How dare you trying to sell me another plan when you haven’t resolved this issue!!

Good afternoon!

Thank you for reaching out to allow us to help you with your DVR recording concerns. We design the DVR so you can record live TV and enjoy that service. We definitely want to be sure that is working correctly for you.

 

Can you tell me a bit about what you experience when trying to record, please? Does the box allow you to set up and schedule the recording and it never actually records, or do you get any error messages?

I cannot record a channel I am watching. It says “channel subscription required to record channel.”  I seem to have this problem on all channels except cbs, nbc, abc and Fox
