No sound for DVR recording for PBS Patience S2 E4

Never had this problem before. I recorded PBS show Patience S2 E4 on 7/5/2026. There is video but no sound or captions.

It looks like some of my posts were lost on this thread. I previously posted that other DVR recordings are fine. Also, for the DVR without audio, the DVR actually starts a couple of minutes early and there is audio until the show starts. During the show, there is no audio for the first 28 minutes. I have since found another recording on Amazon Prime.

Hi there. Since the video plays but both the audio and captions are missing, the first step is to check whether this is limited to that one recording or affecting other DVR content as well.

 

Please try playing another recording, then test the same episode through the Xfinity Stream app on another device. You can also check whether the episode is available On Demand, since that version may have the correct audio track.

 

If other recordings play normally and only this episode is affected, the issue was likely captured in the original broadcast or recording and restarting the box would not restore the missing audio. If multiple recordings are affected, please restart the TV box and let us know the box model and whether live TV still has sound.

Other DVR recordings play correctly. It is only this one DVR show that doesn't have audio. PS: The DVR recording actually starts a couple of minutes before the show. The pre-show portion does have normal audio. There's no audio when the shows starts.

And does it stay this way for the whole duration of the recording? Is the show now available On Demand to compare quality?

No audio for the first 28 minutes of the one hour show. It is not available On Demand.

mjh5 That honestly sounds like a network issue with getting the sound out, but it's hard to really pinpoint without having anything else to compair it to.
