So both moca filters were removed, and it did fix the problem but another problem arose, when I try to play a show on my DVR that was originally recorded on the other DVR the audio and video skip/lag to the point that its unwatchable. But when I play a recording native to my DVR its fine. Is there an explanation for this?

Because your in an apt./condo you may have to get a tech out to ensure there is a filter outside ( since you removed the ones inside). And to make sure there's no interference from other units.

SO true.... someone else in that complex could be causing the issues the OP is posting....  If not done right, MOCA is your worst enemy!!!

I will do that but I'd like to bring this to your attention if I may, we have about 30 recordings combined on our DVRs. I went on the cloud website to look at our recordings and only about 15 recordings are shown on there. It turns out that those 15 recordings are the ones which lag when we try to play them. I attempted to play them on the website and experienced the same lag/chopiness. So of those 15, the only time it plays with no problems is when its played on the DVR it was originally recorded on. Now the other 15 recordings which were not found in the cloud each work perfectly on both DVRs, they all happen to be older recordings. My take out of this is a problem with the cloud. Do you have any input on this? Thanks.

Audio/Video DVR Playback Sync on satellite STB, etc.

No, actually I disagree on this. I do not live in an apartment. I have a MOCA filter at egress and have been having playback sync issues since a few firmware updates ago.

This is a known issue according to tier 2.

Comcast keeps breaking things with different firmware updates. It makes the X1 platform feel so 2 years ago and like we're alpha testers again. Expect we get to pay full price for a product that works when it wants to.

Moving everything to the cloud is a bad idea.

 

We should be able to at least select which recordings are kept on a local DVR, not in the cloud, so we don't lose sometihng that is important to us (not that it's all not important, since we pay for all of it).

 

And the system should be set up so that we can access our DVR when there is an outage.  It's ridiculous to not be able to watch content that is on a hard drive that is in my house and connected directly to my TV (because there is an outage somewhere).

I'll forward it up to one of the other guys on here and he can look at your recordings more deeply than I can.

I have (2) X1 boxes. I have one in my living room and one in my bed room. When I schedule a series recording in my living room it records the shows in my bed room and I can't watch it in the living room. It used to work fine but a fews weeks ago it started messing up. Any ideas why my recordings aren't recording where they should?
