Weird espn recording issue

[mbolack]

I have a strange one, at least to me. I want to record the Kansas State-Baylor game this evening on espn. the machine won't accept the command to record it in HD. Even though I am right on it in the guide, it says it is searching for events that match my request. then it does nothing. However, I was able to set it to record the SD version just fine. Is this espn weirdness, or guide weirdness, or Hopper weirdness? this is a Hopper with Sling, btw.

Maybe the game is only in SD?

Could the HD be tagged as blacked out?

Try a Red Button reset.

I don't think so... it showed in gamefinder and when I told it to record it, it told me it hat set it to record. But when I get back to my guide, or to my daily schedule, it doesn't show up as scheduled.

Already did that. Also came back and unplugged the unit. That didn't work either. I can tell it to record snything else. Just for some reason espn hd won't let me for that game.

Dunno... it shows in the guidefor both hd and sd. This is an important big 12 game so i can't imagine that is it.

I was able to set the timer correctly. It shows up in the daily schedule.

I have a H2K a S449.

Its very weird. I just tried again and see the same thing. Think my guid downloaded glitchy?

When I hit it and get that message about ssearching for events that match my request, there is 531 in the upper right of that box.

Run a check switch to force a guide download.

 

[mbolack]

My software is s506

 

[mbolack]

I have no idea how to do that one...

[thomasjk]
