RECORDING CONFLICT

My Xfinity TV just started on Saturday, 10-31-21.  Noticed now I'm getting RECORDING CONFLICTS when I have more than one TV program set for the same time.  For example, today (Wednesday) I have BATWOMAN set to record 8 to 9pm, CSI VEGAS set to record 859 to 1001, and A MILLION LITTLE THINGS set to record 9 to 10pm.  Why am I getting this conflict?  Extremely aggravating.  Please advise solution.  Thanks.

Hi, @user_3215a6. With DVR scheduling conflicts we like to look at your account to best figure that out as there are different levels of DVR subscriptions. This is the X1 DVR Services Overview Page that goes over a few things that can cause a conflict. The 2 most common things I see are that there are too many recordings at the same time (depends on your subscription) or auto-extend is turned on bumping into the next program. When there is a conflict the DVR will record based on how you prioritize your recordings. Please let me know if that helps or if you need further assistance. I would be happy to help.

Hi! I'm having this issue now. I have already talked to someone on the phone last night and through chat today. Now, I have a technician scheduled to come out. This seems like a software issue. My example, is for tonight. Walker and Station 19 start 8 pm. Then United States of Al starts at 8:30 pm. I would like to record the Christmas Cookie Challenge. But, I cannot. Also, Walker will not record now. 

I should be able to record up to 6 shows. But, it looks like I can only record 2. This wasn't a problem last week. So, I can only conclude that a software update was sent out to the DVR boxes. Which I believe another software update with a fix should be sent out.

Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us today. I am sorry to hear you are having issues with your DVR. I'd be happy to help get the account pulled up and run some troubleshooting. There could be an issue with the DVR box, which is why we may have set up a tech visit. May I have your name and address?

Whoops! I forgot to mention send me that in a DM! Please send a DM with your name and address. :)

I'm having the same issue. Suddenly only 2 recordings are allowed at the same time. What's going on?

So many people with the exact same problem, others have gotten new boxes and that did not do the trick. Yes this has got to be a software issue. I called last night and I thought the problem was fixed but today looking at the scheduled recordings they are not working again.

I have same problem as others with the conflict message. Never had problem before. I never record more than 2 at same time, and I am supposed to have 6 or more. I am leasing my  unit from comcast. Would appreciate fixing the problem. If you need to replace the unit, let me know. I have updated the tv2-3 times in the last 2 weeks.Phil

Has anyone found a resolve to this recording issue?  My dvr used to record several shows at once but now only records two. I have a technician here now and he’s switched out the dvr and still the same issue. He’s making calls and trying to figure it out but can’t seem to come up with a resolve. Has anyone been able to fix this?

My dvr box was upgraded, of course at an additional cost, to allow up to 6 concurrent records. No problem any more.

I’ve had this issue also.  I don’t know whether the Comcast “experts” can’t tell you that you need to change your dvr plan from “dvr lite” to expanded for an additional $10/month.  Changed on everyone without notice.  Their own website says “if you have only 20 hours of cloud space you can only record two shows at once UNLESS you pay for expanded dvr service to $10 extra”.  Thanks Comcast!
