Recordings Disappear
For the past month, I have been going into my recordings. One day, I will go into recordings, watch one, and then I get out and most of my recordings just disappear. I did not delete them, they are not in the deleted recordings area, and my recordings are not full. They disappear and sometimes come back the next day, but other times, they are just gone. This is very frustrating because I want to watch all my recordings but cannot when they unexplainably disappear. Considering switching services.

I'm having the same issue. Recorded programs appear and disappear randomly. Some reappear, others do not. We have used only 35% of recording capacity and have not made any changes to our service or devices. This is has been an issue with several people and no resolution from xfinity. Please fix this.

Same issue for me and I'm not real confident it will be resolved!

This can't be Rocket Science... I have to think SOMEONE at Xfinity would know how to fix this.

I am having a similar issue. 6 of my dvr recordings have disappeared in the past 2 nights. First 2 were lost and now 6. Not deleted by me so they are not in the recent delete folder. These are not cloud recordings but recordings on my hard drive set top box. A few months back over 1/2 of my recordings disappeared but a tech guy was able to restore them. I have done a system refresh and all the rebooting but nothing works. Is Xfinity purging peoples recordings now?

I am still having this issue after posting about the problem a few days back. I called xfinity which is always problematic just getting a live person and she tried several fixes...none of which worked. I was issued an "advanced" ticket order number and told I would be called back by a tech person higher up in the chain and that never happened either. I lost another recording last night so now I've lost 8. Xfinity is deleting my recordings on some random basis....not in order and not by date. I've tried emailing directly to xfinity support as the Xfinity employee suggests on a post above and received no response from them either. I need this issue fixed now. What's going on?

Same thing happening to us now for weeks. It seems right around 6:00 p.m. daily my recorded shows disappear. They are not found anywhere but the next day they show up again. Not sure if all are there but at least some are. Called in for support last night and spent well over an hour and they could not help whatsoever. Issue is happening on multiple boxes so I know it's not the box. Paying $200 monthly one would think these issues wouldn't happen. Time to start shopping for a new provider.

I am still having this issue and now have lost a total of 10 recordings. Xfinity now sending over a tech guy to look at my equipment tomorrow but frankly I don't hold out much hope. I've told them other customers are having the same issue. the tech guy will probably tell me it's a bad box and then say I have to swap it out but then I will lose all of my recordings. and the last senior tech guy I spoke with at comcast said I should have 45% space on my hard drive still so this makes no sense. something is going on a corporate and they aren't telling anyone.

I am having a similar issue. We just ordered a new DVR box as your system suggested that we do that. However, we want to capture one video that consists of my wife being interviewed on TV news. We can see it on our TV listing but it does not show up when I go to Xfinity on my PC. The filter shows All Devices so it theoretically should show on my browser on my PC. We do not want to swap the old DVR for the new DVR until we can capture that video. Any advice? I see no settings on your website when I am in the Saved section that would reveal missing videos of which there are quite a few. Will wait to swap DVR's until we hear back.

I have the same problem as all of the other posters. I do not like the response "let's take this to private chat", especially when no follow-up feedback is posted. The viewing community at large is entitled to know if this is truly a box-by-box problem or if the issue is systemic. Would someone who has had this problem resolved please post a follow-up. Unfortunately, I'll likely not get a response...those who have had a resolution have no reason to return to this thread...but I can hope.

Same issue here. Xfinity is zero help. It didn’t start happening until we downgraded our dvr plan to the cheap one. I kinda of think they do this on purpose so you will upgrade the plan.

Rep said they would be back in contact with me to assist further in recovering my lost recordings. I've heard nothing and that was two weeks ago. I'm now considering another service provider. This is ridiculous....especially since my rates keep going up....and service is going down.

I have now lost of total of 19 recordings...and nothing being done about it. Executive care has been following up with me but they say the only solution is get a new DVR box...which means I lose all recordings and have to start all over. I've been a comcast customer for over 20 years and never had a problem with the DVR until January this year. Something is going on at their back office to delete these recordings on a random basis. Again not by age or alpha. And they claim they can't restore them. I have lost new recordings in the cloud as well. So they have a problem with the cloud storage and again nothing being done. I'm sure they know what is causing this and simply won't say. Surely tied to sales somehow.

I called to adjust my service due to the higher rates. Spoke to the rep mentioned my DVR service was important and I had an issue in 2021 where I lost my recordings. At that time the rep told me my “account was reviewed” and they corrected the service for which I was paying - without any notice mind you.
Back to my call today - we agreed on a service package which should have included the same DVR plan and needless to say I went to my DVR recordings after the call the box was “full” - and I could not see how many recordings I had. Contacted CS again and was informed by the rep that I had the “premium DVR service” for an additional $20/monthly that allowed me an additional 300 hours of recordings. We again agreed on a package with the added premium service and I was assured my recordings would be there - they were not- and I ultimately lost 41 recordings…yes you read that right!
Wether or not “accounts are being reviewed” or a clear back office/programming problem with the DVR service its a know issue that more than needs addressing. Consumers are paying too much monthly for a service that is flawed!
