DVR keeps deleting Jeopardy schedule
Since replacing the DVR and rebuilding all of my scheduled recordings (you'd think that a megabig corporation like AT&T could provide some sort of export/import for when this has to be done but nooooooooooo), I keep adding Jeopardy to the schedule and it keeps disappearing from the schedule! No problems with other scheduled programs.
Any help on why this might be happening with a new DVR?

Why would you have to reschedule your recordings when those stay intact with a new DVR? Yes, you lose your recordings when replacing the DVR, but your scheduling remains unchanged.
I literally just got a new DVR earlier this week (3rd in 11 years) and my scheduled programs have continued to record as before.
Don't mess with old people. The older we get, the less "Life in Prison" is a deterrent.

As skeeter says, reloading your schedule after a DVR replacement is not a thing. The schedule is backed up in the cloud. Maybe someone is messing with you?

Jeopardy has been running repeats due to covid-19. You probably have jeopardy scheduled to only record new episodes.

After reading through your various posts, I'm unclear as to exactly what is happening. Could you tell me which of these it is?

I had the problem where all my recordings disappeared. I stayed on phone with Uverse tech for about an hour as we went through a couple of troubleshooting and restore process and finally the recordings did reappear after a 'software reboot'. I forgot where the tech said the recordings are stored. However the problem happened again about two weeks later..all recordings gone. After going through the trouble shooting procedures again, this Uverse tech was unable to restore the recordings and finally said my DVR needed to be replaced which they did...however they did not restore the recordings. (With the pandemic, I decided I did not watch most of them anyway so I am starting anew)

Responding to jeffer Mc
i am having problem number 3. Can you help? I set the recording of jeopardy on the primary channel NBC. Then it switches to some other channel that isn’t in my channel lineup.

@Janice_1952 are you setting it to record using the dvr or set top box or are you using a computer or mobile phone to set it?
If you are using dvr/stb I don't see how what's happening is possible because when you set a series recording you have to choose the specific channel you want to series record on. It's not smart enough to find the same show on a different channel itself.
If you are setting it on computer/phone it could be some weird bug.

@Janice_1952 , my solution for your issue is to periodically reboot the DVR, at least once every fortnight, if not every week. Just pick a time each week when you're not recording anything and hold the power button in for 10 seconds until it starts blinking. Yes, I've seen it happen. No it shouldn't happen.
