If your Xfinity DVR isn't recording programs after clicking the record button, check for a full DVR, internet connection issues, or recording schedule conflicts. Ensure the DVR is properly connected, has available storage, and that the program is scheduled correctly. If problems persist, a system refresh or contacting Xfinity support may be necessary.

My DVR is empty, I have a very strong internet connection, and I have refreshed so many times I'm ready to quit!!!

Good afternoon user_5b938y! Welcome to our Xfinity Forums Community. Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the DVR. You have reached the right place, we are more than happy to assist you. I just have a couple questions to help me assist you further. Are you missing recordings that you had previously? Or are you having trouble recording in general?

When I set up a recording sometimes the “all future episodes” works fine other times it doesn’t. Please help.

It seems to work for some shows and not others. For example F1 racing I get all the episodes. PBS’s World on fire doesn’t.

Hey @user_apdibr. Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. Does the guide listing show that it's a different season/episode from a previously recorded recording?

Hey there, 2538bailey! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums! I am very sorry to hear about your recordings not recording when you set them to. Do you receive an error when they attempt to record or is it simply just not there after all the confirmations when setting the show to record?

@XfinityAdrienne​ ...It's just not there after all the confirmations when setting the show to record.  This has happened multiple times over the last couple of years.  Everything is set up perfectly, there is loads of empty space (in this latest case 39% full disk), three red dots on the guide, but when I get home and sit down to watch it is NOT THERE!  How to fix?

Thank you for the information @jose995. Does that issue happen with one specific show or title, or is that a random event on anything you set to record?
