What's gone? The red dot in the grid showing it's not scheduled to record (reboot dvr)? Didn't record (maybe scheduled recording first run but wasn't first run)? Previous recordings lost?
What's the station call sign?

Again, what's the station call sign?
If it's out of the lineup then it either ceased operations (possible these days with the FCC channel repacking) or the contract with ATT was not renewed. Call the station and ask them or check their website. Checking their website is all I would do anyhow which is why I was asking for the the station call sign.

It looks like 1020 is/was the PBS station in Chicago. The OP can correct me if I'm wrong.
From what I can ascertain, it WAS WYCC but after a merge, it's WTTW.

@skeeterintexas - good detective work. I've decided with threads like these to not bother sniffing out what channel the OP's are complaining about if they don't have the courtesy of specifying the tv station call sign in question. Reason is that the knowing the call sign makes it trivial to look up the station for announcements and using the RabbitEars tv channel listings info allows you know what exactly happened to the station in question. Here it is for WYCC. You can immediately see it went off the air and moved into a channel sharing arrangement with WTTW. So I was correct in speculating that the FCC repacking was the cause of the channel going off the air.
To anyone else reading this use that RabbitEars site to see if your favorite station is affected by channel repacking. Stuff like this will continue until sometime in 2020. Lots of other interesting tv related stuff there as well.

I think the channel the original poster is talking about is "WTTW Prime," which appears to be 11.2 (according to the WTTW website, Midsomer Murders is not on the "main" WTTW channel, but only on WTTW Prime).
Apparently, WYCC went off the air last November; I wonder why WTTW Prime was even on U-Verse in the first place. 20.1 in Chicago is supposed to be something called MHz Worldview.
