Recordings Are Unplayable
Recently ran into an issue where my shows appear to be fully recorded, but when I play it, it behaves as if you are at the end of the recording. On some recordings, it does this immediately upon starting it. On other occasions, it runs for a longer length of time before doing this. I originally thought this was solely isolated to MTV, but I recently saw it on AMC as well. I've tried restarting the whole system (gateway, DVR, wireless boxes and WAP) but to no avail.
Has anyone encountered this and found a fix? Is it possible that the DVR is faulty? I recently replaced it in the last yr, so hoping this is not the case.

Hello @ATTHelp
I regret to say you that your solution did not work for me. One other thing I realize, is that it happens between the 7:30 to 9PM time period. Same MTV and AMC seems to be the only affected. The plan is try and pick another channel around this time and see if it that causes the fail. Is it possible that the box is doing maintenance on itself at this time?
One more thing that came to mind is the possibility of scheduling by series causing the issue versus just finding the episode and recording individually. Could that be another reason?
Let me know when you can.

I have the exact same problem but the solution has either not been reached, or was done privately via messages. Can you update this if a solution has been found?

Hey Wiley,
Their private chat directive was to call Uverse via phone and report the issue there. Did that and their techs mentioned that they've opened a ticket and are looking into it for me and would report on a fix as soon as it is found.
Haven't heard from them since then and have been limping along. Does this happen on a certain set of channels for you like it did for me? It also seems to be around the same time in the evening (7 to 8:30 PM CST) for me.
