What DVR model number do you have?

The DVR shouldn't care if your TV is on or off. Is the DVR being powered OFF when the TV is turned off?  Note that DVRs are never really OFF unless the power is unplugged. Or you're using a "smart" power strip that kills power to all outlets when the TV is off.

Hi @wmg451, let's check your DVR feature together.

We want to explore options to help you successfully record your favorite programming. Please, share with us more info about how you set up the recordings. By any chance, have you tried to refresh your service/equipment?
