Search not finding programs

I have recently upgraded to an HR21 DVR and SmartSearch does not seem to work consistently. Sometimes I search for a program that I know is just a few days away, and I can put in a partial or full search and it won't find it. But I can browse to the day and time and it is in the listing.

 

For example I searched for The Walking Dead and it found the title. I selected the title, and it said there were not matching programs. However, when I browsed a few days ahead I found the shows.

 

Any ideas?

First thing to try is resetting your DVR/Receiver using the red button behind the front panel access card door.  See if that helps.

I do a lot of searching for movies that I select from various sites and fairly often they don't show up in the search so I have to go the guide to set up the recordings. Not a big deal for me but it does happen. Nothing is perfect.
