DVR recordings

Let's help figure out what's going on with your recorded programs, @millerhimes!

There are many things that can cause missing recordings, such as surge protectors/power strips, or even hardware related issues like a bad hard drive. If possible, we do recommend plugging your DVR directly in to a wall outlet to help prevent missing recordings in the future.

Try these quick tips to troubleshoot your DVR:

• Restart your U-verse TV receiver (DVR) by holding down the POWER button for 5 seconds, then press it again to restart. (This takes 5-8 minutes and impacts any DVR recordings in progress.) 
• Press the Recorded TV button on your remote if your recorded program is frozen or missing.

If that doesn't help, there are some additional troubleshooting steps that you can take.

Let us know how it goes!

Tried reboot, that didn't work. I'm plugged directly into wall outlet.

Thanks for letting us know, @millerhimes!

I went to the troubleshooting in the help section using the remote, there is no category for "lost recordings", didn't help.

We appreciate you taking the time to try those troubleshooting steps, @millerhimes!
