Recordings Gone

I had 21 Bones television shows recorded. Today, they all disappeared! Only 2 people in my household and husband said he did not delete Bones. Can anyone help?

What model DVR?

Have you sorted the list or tried a red button reset to see if they were still there but hidden by a glitch?

Were they recorded from regular satellite channels or On Demand? Most On Demand content has an expiration date as cannot be saved indefinitely.

Check to see how full your DVR is. If full, new recordings replace the oldest ones (skipping any marked as "keep").

recordings do expire, alerted by a symbol next to the recording

The "triangle exclamation" means that your hard drive is nearly full and these recordings are at risk of being deleted soon to make room for new recordings.

The "circle K" means you've set these recordings to "Keep Until I Delete"

I recorded them with the instructions to "keep all", and I have plenty of space on the DVR. It has never been less that 82% Free. Thanks.
