SERIES NOT RECORDING - UVERSE PLEASE OWN UP

If you review this forum you will see that a number of us have been experiencing the same issue/problem all starting around July 1 - series recordings that we have had set up suddenly stop recording, don't show up as scheduled to record and when attempt is made to reschedule the series (cancel existing instruction and then set up again - any day, any time, first run only - the system sets it up for maybe two episodes and then doesn't continue.

 

I've seen (and done) all the reboot suggestions but since this seems to be a widespread issue it is unlikely that on their own our individual dvr's or gateways decided to pick up this quirk. While the suggestions to resolve may be the same this is almost certainly a result of some system change/issue on AT&T's end that affected some of the U-verse customers. Could you please just acknowledge what happened that might create this issue and what steps you - AT&T - are doing to resolve it? We can unplug and reboot til the cows come home but if you don't recognize that you seemingly caused an issue what confidence can we have in the solution?

 

Please let us know.

To all the San Diegans experiencing this issue; 

I strongly encourage you to tweet, Facebook, and post on this forum about your problems. I have received no support from AT&T tech, so it’s up to us to get the word out and find a solution. You can also message David because he found a solution for the customers in Cleveland.

David or AT&T would confirm, but the problem is software. Something in a patch or load. We got lucky in MW

We are in San Diego and having the same issue as everyone else. We had a technician out and my husband has called numerous times, and each time they have us reboot and re-record our series. It works for a couple days and then things stop recording again. When we mention that we see we aren’t the only ones having this issue, the tech support says it’s not a known issue and there are no other reports of this issue. We are going to try calling AGAIN, pointing out this thread and that it appears the same issue was resolved in other areas. Super frustrating!

This is beyond frustrating. I talked to an AT&T Tech Supervisor and was informed that nothing other than rebooting the DVR and erasing the recordings can be done. I guess all of us need to keep calling in order to fix this problem. We deserve functional equipment!

When you call AT&T, make sure you dial (855) 920-0146. This phone number sends you straight to escalation where a level 2 Tech can open an AOTs Ticket. Do not get off the line until you get a ticket number. This will not only save you the headache of repeating yourself but also ensure you of further investigation. And always ask to speak to a Tech Supervisor and refer them to this forum. AT&T will eventually have to patch this buggy system if enough of us start an AOTs Ticket. It's going to take more than us complaining, so please follow through with these steps.

Hi @Stradalite and @jchrth1,

 

Sorry for the late reply. I was not monitoring this thread after the issue was resolved. I will be sending you a private message to gather more information. If you know anyone else that is having the issue, please have them reach out as well. We were able to resolve this issue in Cleveland pretty quickly due to the many people on this thread that were able to help.

David is having a hard time pinpointing the issue, because he only received a couple of account numbers. In order to fix the problem, he is looking into commonalities between the affected accounts. The less information he has, the longer this will take. Please private message him with your account number. Until he gets more account numbers, it’s really a needle in a haystack. Meanwhile, we must trust David and the process.

Hi @Scroft@jchrth1@watupd@Rickster97@Stefnazanin

I want to keep everyone in the loop after I hear from David. So keep checking the forum. All of us are experiencing the same frustration ( and I work for AT&T ). The solution depends upon tracking down the SD servers that store our series managers and, then, patching the software. This issue was resolved in the Midwest without delay once David recieved enough accounts. We are hoping for the same outcome here, so  please PM David with the affected account number. If you have further inquiries, reach out on the forum. Thanks!
