Satellite TV boxes

We have the Xfinity X1 system.  The replay function on some of our satellite TV boxes is malfunctioning.  These boxes will hold around the last 20 minutes of TV programming, but when I rewind and try to play it, it will play for a while, but then will jump to live TV.  If I then try to pause or rewind, I get a message that this box does not support the function, and I have to re-boot the box.  It will then work properly for a while, but then this problem repeats.  What can I do to fix this?  Is it related to cloud DVR ? Help please.

there is a memory card in the unit and what you describe is loss of ability to use that card. swap the box.

Thanks for reply, but I have already swapped the box, and the problem persists!

are you watching the numbered cable TV channels in your subscription when this does not work? for example go to your local NBC channel and watch for 20 minutes and then rewind and watch - does that work?

it happens with local broadcast stations, as well as others.
