recording deleted from DVR even though not over limit

So today when I got home from work I checked the DVR and noticed that my 6 oldest recordings had been deleted even though I was not over my 20 hour limit. I did notice in the last day or two that the %full indicator has been fluctuating and giving displaying inaccurate numbers. Any way to get these recordings back? They should not have been deleted.

JamesH1 Thanks for posting on our Community Forums. For the recordings in question, were they recorded almost or over a year ago? There is a setting for the recordings that would auto-delete them after a year, but we can run through some steps to see if they are able to be recovered.

The oldest recording left on my DVR now is from January 30. So I would say the recordings that got deleted were maybe 4 to 6 months old.

Thank you for attempting to recover them through the self-service option. We can check on our end if we are able to recover them. If you could please send me a DM with your first and last name along with your full-service address, we can get started looking into the missing recordings.
