DVR records partial instead of full episode, then won't play back the part it did record

Series prioritized number 1 is set to record both new and repeat episodes and hold until I delete. Two episodes air back-to-back on one night. Both are set to record in to-do list. Usually, both record as expected. Both episodes airing Sunday 4/11 appeared briefly in playlist as partial episodes. Attempted to play but DVR would not play them, instead reverted to live TV. Now those two episodes to not appear in playlist, to-do list, or history list.

This is not the first problem I've had with the DTV R15-100. I have many times experienced sound but no picture for last half (or 10+ minutes) of recorded episode; how often must I be disappointed at this failure or how often do I have to reset the machine to prevent it? The machine also sometimes records what I am watching live even though I did not set it to record; yes, it's possible I accidentally touched the record button on the remote--but it's highly unlikely.

Any idea what is going on or how to solve these issues? Thanks so much for any input.
