When the CONFIRM  screen appeard it would say the recording will automatically extend if the game runs longer than the allotted time, which baseball games often do.  Now that message does not appear.  I have talked to three Comcast agents.  The first said it was a problem at their end.  She prepared a ticket to send up the line and said it would be fixed in an hour.  It wasn't.  The second tried some things, then referred the issue to a senior specialist.  The specialist tried to tell me it was a network policy that the recording could not automatically be extended.  I tried to send this info to Comcast via its website, but found no way to write to them directly. Needless to say, I am quite upset with Comcast's lack of response. I am curious about this too. Has nothing changed except that the message "the recording will automatically extend if the game runs longer than the allotted time" no longer appears? I was confused as to whether they would extend or not. I did notice that when I set my last sports recording it showed an extra 90 minutes showed up when viewing my sceduled recordings.  ...

Ha!  Good find.  I only have HD channels as favorites with SHOHD (650) as my first (numerically).  While in Favorites Guide view and row ESPNHD (668) at the top, I pressed Guide, 0650, OK ... and the Guide replotted with SHOHD at the top.  Now, if I just don't wear out my "0" button.    p.s. just verified, in my example above, that pressing Guide, 02, OK ... replots the Guide with my first (numerical) favorite (650 in my case) at the top.  Same behavior that I counted on daily, before the bug appeared, in order to replot the Guide in Favorites view with my first favorite at the top. You don't need to press anything else but 0 and OK. Well goodness, you're correct ...  Fyi ... even after the fix (XRE 1.67.07), the Guide doesn't behave exactly as it did before.  If you read my "p.s." in the post above (or any of my previous comments re: use of the "2" button) followed by HowAboutThisOne's comment re: the "0" button, you'll know that I used to be able to press the Guide button (while in Favorites view), then "2", then Enter and the Guide would replot with my first (numerical) favorite channel (650) at the top.  After the fix, doing this (at least when channel 2 is not a favorite) yields the same annoying "Switch Guide View" message as described in the OP.  I must now press "0" to replot the Guide with my first favorite at the top.  It's not a big problem or even a bug necessarily, but it's definitely a change in behavior. ...
