Missing all recorded DVR movies and shows.

[dhall6491]

I noticed yesterday(4/23/19) that my DVR went from 77% full to 25% full. I lost 30 to 40 recordings. The lost recordings were not the oldest ones or the newest ones but somewhere in between. I have already done the restart and system refresh procedures without success. Any other suggestions?

dhall6491, welcome to the forums. 

This is a very odd issue, and I'd be happy to help. I get how important it is to make sure your recordings are available. To take a look at this further, can you please send over a PM with your first and last name?

I have also had this problem, same time frame, not missing all, but quite a few movies.

The missing recordings can be restored.  They will tell you they can't do it but they can - as I have had it done but it took posting to the FCC's complain site.

Good luck

Actually not all the recordings were missing. I lost about half of them. Not the oldest or the newest but somewhere in between.

Happened to me too. Claim they can do nothing & some of those programs saved were live & one ofs that were being kept permanently.  Then when I called the customer "service" agents were so HORRIBLE, I just wrote a 3 page letter letting them know this customer of a couple decades will likely be heading elsewhere due to the entire incident. Start to finish, the worst treatment I've ever dealt with as a customer.

If anyone knows the actual mailing address for complaints, I'd really appreciate it as I can't seem to track it down. Thanks. Sorry y'all are dealing with this too. We pay way too much a month for such rude, unprofessional treatment.

My DVR went from 40% to 5% and I am missing many recordings. Please help!

We have lost ALL are recordings!

Can not even set to record anything, option is gone.

I'm in Fort Myers, FL anyone else in the area having trouble?

Sure isn't what I'm paying big dollars for.

Hello, all, thank you so much for your patience while we worked on this. The issues with the missing recordings have now been resolved and your recordings should be available again. If you cannot find the recordings on your physical box, please try viewing them from the Cloud on the Stream app or website.

I see no change in my DVR recordings, so they are still missing. Apparently I have no access to the Cloud DVR.
