Is it possible to determine what user set a DVR recording ?

That’s a good question. At this time the DVR system doesn’t show which specific user profile scheduled a recording. The recordings and scheduled recordings are tied to the main account rather than an individual user, so there isn’t a way to see who set it from the DVR history.

 

If you’re trying to narrow it down, you may be able to check the recording details or the date and time the recording was scheduled in the DVR list, which can sometimes help figure out when it was set. If multiple people in the household use the Xfinity Stream app or the TV interface, any of those profiles could schedule recordings that show up on the same DVR.

 

If you’re seeing recordings appear that you didn’t expect, it may also be worth checking the series recordings section to see if a show was set to record automatically, which can sometimes make it look like new recordings were added on their own.
