Recordings Failing because Description changes last minute
Last night around 1 AM or so, I set up my DVR to record the Olympics this morning on my Contour 1 DVR 6-tuner DVR. When I turned on my TV after 10 AM this morning, I saw that while the DVR was chugging away and recording shows on NBC, USA, and E!, it had missed a recording I'd had scheduled on E! from 7 AM to 10 AM.
Specifically, the "recording failed because the program was not found in the guide." I also noticed a couple of other scheduled blocks were no longer scheduled because the descriptions of the shows had changed. I recall that this happened quite frequently during the last Olympics and it frustrated me to no end because I had to keep checking my guide to make sure the show descriptions weren't being changed at the last minute, thus clearing my scheduled recording.
I feel you shouldn't change your description within a day of airing, and at least 12 hours at a minimum. This is beyond frustrating. I would rather the description be wrong, but the content be recorded than to not have the content at all. Heck, you can name the block "2024 Paris Olympic stuff" for all I care.
Can Cox PLEASE stop altering the descriptions of the shows for Olympic content on such short notice? Some of us sleep and have meetings and children and we can't live on our DVR 24/7.
