recorded golf from 12-6 today...got home and started to watch the recording...after about 2 hours (i just usually hit the skip button and skim) the recording stops and says its done...the dvr also did this when i tried to record the british...the red light was still on when i got home before the event had stopped and the dvr said the event was 6 hours in length...what is going on...i have plenty of room on the dvr...any suggestions?

never had any problems recording other normal length shows

This has happened to me. From time to time, long sporting events are "split-up" in the programming guide. Why? Don't know. Sounds like this is what might have happened two hours in. Next time, check the guide and make sure there are no splits or segments to the same coverage. A Fail-Safe would be to set a manual timer. A bit of a hassle.

You say you are watching the event while it is still being recorded? Did you go to the DVR listing and select the event and then select Start Over? If you did, by any chance did you at any time press stop?
