Deleted recordings hang around for awhile.

Was happening since X1 inception.

Fixed there for a couple months finally.

You should know this. Its posted constantly.

that was fixed in 1.68.06 dated 9/30 of last year. what versions are you running? did you do a "sync DVR' in device settings and they disappeared?

It stopped happening for me maybe around March?  But yeah, nowhere near a year ago...

I agree.....it has only been fixed for a few months. I dared not say how great it was to have recordings deleted WHEN I deleted them for fear of jinxing it. I have not noticed this happening again YET.  It was one of our biggest issues but not on the technical thread. It was on the Upcoming Updates thread.

The Delete problem does seem to be fixed. SO FAR. I sticking with my older box until it craters after hearing about problems with  new boxes. The X1 system has been rather slow at times including some resets that the system has done on it's own lately.  Just more same mo same mo.


I have noticed that the system is slow at times too. Very unresponsive and then freezes but my deletes are working! I have had to  restart the system the old fashioned way by unplugging as I could not get to 'A' to restart and then it behaved properly.

What is going on with your system. Very poor for the past 3 days and here I sit with another reboot request the second today?

Hi TeriB !   Yep, X1 is much better than is used to be but still not perfect. I had to turn off autoextend because it was setting all my pre-season football games to record for 4 1/2 hours even though the guide showed the programs as three hours long. Weird !

Autoextend was made a standard part of the system several month ago. Has it been brought back as a user option?

It became on by default, but it remained an option (settings, preferences, general, auto pad recordings). That is, if we're talking about the same thing and not the live sports feature.

Edit: I should have read closer and see you replied to a post about sports, but I still think it was auto pad that was made standard a few months ago and the sports one is on a case by case basis?

Swap it out, it’s a software fail, it’s toast.

I recently got a new X1 DVR box.. recently I got this message on the screen, I will describe it so maybe someone will understand what I am talking about:

There is a grey header box with the words "Pace ABL V1.17"

Below the screen is blue with the words

Preparing your box for new software...Please wait.  Your box may automatically reset after this process

DOCSIS status: phy syhcnronization...ok

DOCSIS status: topology resolution in progress...done

DOCSIS status: us parameteres acquisition...ok

DOCSIS status: ranging in progress...done

DOCSIS status: time of day establishment...ok

DOCSIS status: config file download...done

DOCSIS status: registration in progress

DOCSIS status: operational...ok

 

now this screen stays up for hours upon hours with nothing happening.. of course nothing works while its doing this..

Did you try pulling the power and plugging it back in?



Yup, and forced resets, etc..  nothing works except waiting til it decides to actually download something (that itself takes 2-3 hours) and then it might not even work, rinse, repeat.
