It records about 10 minutes and then I get a message asking "Would you like to watch the next portion of your recording...Yes, No?" Then it does it again, then again. When I hit Yes, sometimes it continues and sometimes I get a message: You recording is not available at this time. Please try again later." When I Exit the recording and try again it starts from the beginning again.
I reset the box..no help.
So I switched out the box the other day with the latest a greatest...and it just did it again!!
This is really annoying. The only reason I have cable at all is to watch Mets games. If I can't do that, then it's time to return all this junk and give it up.
FWIW, it does not do this when I'm watching the game on my iPhone via the TV app.
Another issue is that when I fast forward past a commercial then hit Play, I get video but no sound. When I Exit and come back, sometimes the sounds comes back and it plays from where I left off, sometimes it just decide to start all over from the beginning.
Very frustrating.
when your local set top box is interrupted during a recording period from any thing like a power fail or a reset of the box you will see it in 'parts' with some missing show.
missing show parts or entire recording without broken segments is available on the cloud using any device like smart phone/tablets, desk/laptops. that way you can view the missing part that is not available on your local box that is 'between' segments.
If you restart the recording you will notice that the 'progress bar' on an interrupted recording is 'partly' colored indicating what segment is currently being viewed. when the color changes the next segment will be offered. you can fast forward up to that 'break' and then play to the interruption to get to the next segment. Comcast records the programs on the cloud DVR without using your local equipment/wiring, etc.
