Why can't I record more than one program at a time?

Hey user_znwjg9, thanks for reaching out to Xfinity Support on our forums. Each box has tuners that are used to view channels and record shows. If there are more channels being watched or recordings scheduled than tuners you'll get that error. Have you checked the Scheduled Recordings page to see how many series are set to record?

There was an overlap between two programs that I set to be recorded. I had done that previously and since without any problem.

I don't know how to send a direct message. The instructions do not seem to correspond to what I see on my computer screen.

I don't have a solution.

Shouldn't I get notified if there is a reply to my post?

This is getting annoying. Today it told me that it had recorded the game, but it did not record the game.

And the rewind has a new trick: Going backward and forward at the same time. While fast forwarding, the indicator on the bottom of the screen jumps back to the beginning but the image on the screen jumps ahead.

Hey @user_znwjg9, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience regarding the recent recording of a sporting event. I would be more than happy to offer my assistance looking into this further for you.

 

Depending on the level of DVR service within the subscription, the account may be limited to 2 concurrent recordings. While the guide will show that it is scheduled to be recorded, if more than two shows are scheduled, it will not record a third. You can view and manage future recordings by visiting our 'View Scheduled Recordings With X1 AnyRoom DVR' support page. 

 

With the fast-forward and rewinding, have you attempted to power cycle the set-top box by unplugging the power cor for 20-30 seconds and plugging the device back in? I would also highly recommend downloading the Xfinity App and using the Xfinity Assistant to help troubleshoot the set-top box. It can help you to troubleshoot, send signals, and even schedule a service technician if needed. It has come in handy a few times for me and my personal services.

How do I find out how many scheduled concurrent recordings I am allowed?

If I set up to record two shows that are broadcast back-to-back is that two concurrent recordings due to the one minute extra at each end?

Do you happen to know if you have access to 20 hours of cloud DVR or 150 hours of Cloud DVR? Also, I would check the scheduled recordings you have now and check the extended times. If you have a show record 2 minutes past the recording and you have a show starting at the exact start time or sooner, you could receive a recording conflict. @user_znwjg9

I'll try the unplug bit and see if it works. Is there anything I need to do after plugging it back in?

I have cloud DVR? Didn't know that. How can I figure out how many hours I have?

Great question once you plug it back in there's nothing you need to do,  the TV box will go through the X1 set up  process once, it's done your live channel will start to play.

 

To see your current storage https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-dvr-cloud-technology-general-faqs  %, press the xfinity button on your remote, then click Saved, then Recordings.

 

If you want to see that storage amount that comes with your DVR  service you can also go to the Xfinity app https://www.xfinity.com/apps go to your detailed bill view PDF file.

 

On that PDF file document there is detailed explanation on page 3 of the services you have,  it will show you cloud DVR service 20 hours or if you have DVR service for $10 that gives you 150 hours of DVR storage or it could just dvr service included with plan depending on the type of plan you have

 

If you would like for us to go over your specific account details, go ahead and send us a direct message so we can look deeper into your account.

 

To send a direct message:

 

Click "Sign In" if necessary

 

• Click the "Direct Message" icon in the upper right - it looks like a chat bubble

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon just to the right of Conversations

• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line - do not use the Employee's name!

• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

• Press Enter to send it

To expedite your request, we ask that you please include your name, the account holder name (if different), and the service address
