X1 recorded program stops playing, asks if I want to delete

Programs I record and play back are abruptly stopping midway through the playback, long before the recording has ended. When this occurs, X1 pauses and then a pop asks whether to delete or not delete. Some times, when the programs abruptly stops, another popup occurs saying that X1 is having a problem, the programing halts for a few seconds, and then resumes with a gap in the playback. This abrupt stoppage occurs on a variety of recordings from a multitude of different channels, and frequently occurs several times during a single recording.

At best, this is a huge nuisance. At worst, this is a serious bug.

What is the solution?

@XfinityHeather Thanks. I contacted Xfinity support. I guess they reset my cable box. To quote a part of their chat "... I have sent the correct signals to the box, to have this issue resolved...."  I won't know if their fix was successful until I watch several recorded shows looking for the fault to occur. I plan to post a reply when I have done that.

After 5 days post 'correct signals' fix, the problem continues. More frequently a popup window appears at the upper right of the screen which says that there has been a problem at xfinity's end, and they're sorry. After a few seconds, the recording continues at a time point past where it unexpectedly stopped.

Oh, no! We'd hoped to hear that everything was recording without error!
Not to worry, you're in good hands and we can continue on here!
I know you'd mentioned having received an error message as well, do you recall if there was an error code or number that had appeared, and if so, what it was? 

I no longer work for Comcast.
