Issues with recordings on Hopper 3.

[WickedStepMom]

The past 2 weeks I've had recorded shows on my Hopper 3 disappear. My household consists on me and my husband and he only goes into the DVR when I instruct him to look for something in particular to watch and then he doesn't delete it. So why are some of these recorded shows disappearing? I have CBS Morning set to record Monday-Friday. Last Monday it recorded but Tuesday it did not. Also 2 weeks ago my timer for S.W.A.T. and Fire Country didn't record. Fortunately I subscribe to Paramount Plus for CBS shows so I don't need to wait a week for them to hop.
Anyone experiencing these issues?

Is your DVR disk getting full? Shows can be auto deleted if not marked "Protected" and the DVR disk is getting full. The DVR recordings screen has a green percentage bar that show how full the H3 thinks the DVR disk is.

Very good suggestion but my DVR percentage was 21% full.

Have you tried a pull the cord reboot? Maybe delete timers and set new ones. Do you have PTAT enabled? I have ours set for all four PTAT networks for eight days. It beats setting timers for PTAT channels. I hardly use them anymore. Apps work much better. I use Paramount+, Peacock+, and Hulu to watch all my favorite prime time programs. Hulu also has our favorite Fox programs.

Yes, PTAT is enabled and I've gone there to find the shows that have vanished. Suppose I can try deleting the channels that are Prime Time channel timers I created some time ago (but these are LOTS of timers) but somewhere along the way the PTAT took over the ones I set.
The attached picture shows what the guide is showing for Prime Time to be recording and that I previously had these 3 shows rescheduled with MY timers.
I have no idea what a "pull the cord reboot" is.

When PTAT first came out I set timers for PTAT channels too like you have done. I found it wasn't necessary. Sometimes they disappeared. Maybe give it a try, delete all your PTAT timers. In your timers listing click on options then select manage timers. You can easily select which timers you want to delete. Much faster than individually deleting each timer. In your PTAT folder you can organize all the recordings. I found it much easier with the networks selection. When I go to the PTAT folder I select which network I want, all the recordings show up for that network. I then save the ones I want to watch later to the recordings folder. They will not disappear when the eight days is up.

Pull the cord reboot is pulling the Hopper's power cord from the wall plug for about 30 seconds and then plug the cord back in. Your Hopper will go thru the normal booting up process. Clears up issues if there are any.
