Random dvr recordings
My dvr starting recording a plethora of shows and content I didn't request and no one requested taking up space and forcing out saved content I wanted. Why is this happening?

Hello @user_9b41fc, we appreciate you reaching our team on Forums. Are you the only one in the household or are there any others that might be setting up recordings? Does anyone use your stream login or another login associated with the account?

Did you swap your DVR recently? I did and found same issue. Take a look at your Series Priorities list in the Schedule. The plethora of shows (not mine) mysteriously appeared. Move your shows to the top positions to ensure they record. Comcast is aware and working it under an Engineering group trouble ticket. It's a WIP was told to sit tight. If you don't want to wait delete them from your scheduler and then you delete what's left from the series priority list - highlight and hit the "i" button, then recording options then cancel then cancel recording.

Did you ever get this resolved? happening to me and customer phone and chat support keep telling me I'm doing it but obviously a search on here shows its a common issue for well over 3 years.

Still not resolved. They are aware and have a ticket open with engineering. They’re calling the issue ”Box Swap / Phantom Recordings”. The only issue is now getting them to keep me updated as this one supervisor promised me. Have an email into two senior executives. I’ve had enough!

This is happening to me as well. It's not a new box. No one in the household is recording the shows. One show that I deleted and cancelled upcoming recordings for, is now recording and I can't delete it. This just started happening in the past week or so.

Any resolution? It’s still happening to me. It’s pretty disconcerting.

Most boxes shipped out are refurbished boxes. It is quite possible the memory was not cleared from the previous owner.

Another angry customer here, same issue. No new box to blame, already had X1. Simply started seeing random recordings showing up in May 2023, and they still get recorded (again and again) even after we delete the "scheduled" recording request. Odd coincidence (or maybe not?) is that this first happened at exact same time Xfinity started sending us emails saying everyone needs to be on X1 boxes by June or our recordings and streaming may not work the same...

Hello everybody. I gave up waiting for a Comcast solution. If you want to make this go away you need to delete each Phantom show that’s now in your Series Priority list. I did this a week or so ago and the problem is solved and no reoccurrence of anything but my own show’s recording!

Still happening to us on an x1 box we’ve had since 2015. Started a few months ago. Any resolution?

The same thing is happening to me. We just had a service guy here who deleted them all and seems to think this will solve the problem. I have my doubts….
the problem is not deleting them the problem is stopping them from continuing to pile back on!!
this is soo annoying.

I’m having the same problem. I swapped boxes in June and was getting random recordings. I canceled them all and haven’t had any for months, and just started getting them again this week.. October.
