Not recording programs properly.

My old receiver broke last month and I had to replace it with the RD16-300. The dvr recording is FRUSTRATING me to no end.

The machine likes to try and think for itself rather than recording what I tell it to. For example tonight I set it to record House on FoxE at 5pm. At 5pm it switched to record Bones on TNT. I organize my preferences by day they record (Monday night shows followed by Tuesday, etc) so WHY would it record a Thursday night show on a different channel and a repeat that had a way lower prefference order?

(1) I set show to record (2) the day of the recording I checked the To-Do-List (everything looked fine) (3) At 5pm I thought I'd check to make sure it worked correctly...(4) it was recording Bones on TNT (I have a season pass to Bones set for Thursday not repeats on a different channel and it is lower in priority than House)!

Why am I paying for this feature if it doesnot record what I tell it to?
