Set Channel Manual Recording Button Missing

Today the “Record” option when I click into every channel is just completely missing on all of my DVRs. I use this all the time to set a manual recording, and this is the first time it is not there for some reason. It is way more reliable to record this way for long events for the exact time I want than extending or doing any type of auto extend option.

Please advise, is this a temporary glitch that is going to be fixed soon?

I want to second this... the option to manually record a channel for a specific time is no longer available.  It was working yesterday.  Rebooting the box doesn't help.

Hello, Xfinity? This glitch is still happening for the third day in a row with no response. Getting pretty frustrated, especially after having yet another complete service outage in my neighborhood yesterday as well. 
Can you please escalate this issue I’ve brought up in the original post to the correct tech team that can look into this and fix it?

Agreed, this needs to be fixed immediately and should not be that difficult. 

Revert to the last working software version while you debug what caused this problem.

You should also let us make the recordings reoccurring so I don't have to set them for every day...

And let us type the hours and minutes using the numbers on the remote control keypad, instead of having to thumb through every number between 00 and 59 just to set the minutes!

And the big one... let us specify an EXACT ending time, instead of just "record 30 minutes" or "record 1 hour".

💯 agree!

I have DIRECTV as well, their UI blows Xfinity away!
