Recording movies from Turner Classic.

Why am I not able to record movies on my DVR from TCM? The message is telling me that I cannot record from that channel w/o a subscription. However, I actually did add the package that includes TCM, and I am a subscriber. What can I do to rectify this?

I'm actually experiencing this exact problem. I subscribe to the sports package just to have Turner, and as of two days ago, after many years, I get a message I need a subscription to record.

Watching is no problem, but I'm not always in front if my TV and want to record stuff!

@user_e1f536 Hello and thank you for reaching out over our Xfinity Community Forums. I am so sorry to hear that you are also experiencing these same issues where your cable box seemingly randomly says you must have a subscription to record. Normally that can be resolved by either tuning to a different channel and then back to the one in question, or restarting your cable box. I would also be more than happy to take a closer look, and assist you in getting this resolved once and for all, no problem! Whatever we can do to help a valued member of our Xfinity family!
