DVR Recording Question

We have several DTV Streaming boxes in two different homes. All work well except one box:

when we hit record, a message pops up that says "Whoops, that program is finished airing and can't be recorded anymore"

None of the other boxes give this error - we hit record and it records.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, @Jestochin. We're here to help. Does this error occur when trying to record on all channels or only specific ones? John, DIRECTV Community Team

Restarted the device - still no recording. Interesting that all the other boxes record.
