My Tivo is not automatically recording new episodes of a favorite TV show that I have explicitly told it to record.
I've got a "Tivo HD" with a cablecard, on the Comcast cable service in Seattle. The Tivo has added to it, one of those officially-sanctioned "MyBook" DVR Expander 500gb external drives, so it has tons of free disk space.
At the very very tippy-top of the Season Pass manager is a season pass for Doctor Who on BBC America HD.
The new episodes just started airing, and this season pass is not automatically grabbing the new episodes for me. I looked at the program date for the new episodes, and yes, the original air date is correct, in other words, the original air date is the date of the episode I'm expecting it to grab. Yet, the season pass is not grabbing those new episodes automatically, they are not being added to the to-do list.
The season pass is set to:
- Get new episodes only.
- Start one minute early.
- Stop one minute late.
- Keep until I delete.
- Keep at most: All episodes.
There is plenty of disk space, and this item is at the tippy top of the season pass manager so it should have top priority.
Yet these new episodes are not getting automatically recorded, and in fact, when I go to the episode's details screen, I see in small print, the text "this episode will not be recorded". Yet no explanation as to why not.
If I tell it to record that episode manually, it works, and there are no conflicts reported when I do so.
What's up here?
