Recorded program forces Delete/Don't Delete choice
Sometimes a program I recorded shows in my List but when I "play" it, it goes automatically to "Delete/Don't Delete" choices and won't play. Sometimes the timeline shows only a minute actually recorded but often it shows the whole time recorded, like 1:30 or 3:00, but it goes right to "Delete/Don't Delete" when I try to play. This happens once or twice a month to different shows. I think it has something to do with the thing that comes up sometimes that one is recording to many shows at once and has to cancel one or more if they want to record yet another show. I wonder if when I miss that message, like when I am not around, then it chooses to delete the show based on the Series Manager. Will these occurrences be less frequent if I am sure to keep my Series Manager more prioritized?

In most cases this is caused by weak signals, you would be warned when you setup the recording that there is a conflict.

Check your satellite signal readings and post back here.

If your Series Manager had programs that were more prioritized, the less prioritized recordings would not record at all. So, seeing it in your list means that the receiver attempted to record the program.
Go to Menu, Settings, Satellite, View Signal Strength, and let the signals populate. Afterwards, please write down an average for all of the signals. It is normal to see a few with low or zero strength. Next, after you have documented the average of 101, press the ‘+’ to be sent to satellite 99 (ca). Do the same thing you just did with satellite 101. Again, it is normal to see some satellites with zero strength. Then, press the ‘+’ button and repeat the same process for 99 (cb), 103 (ca), and 103 (cb). At the end, you should have five different averages for five different satellites. (101, 99ca, 99cb, 103ca, 103cb)
