Issue w/ Directv

For the past 3 weeks on my R15, House doesn't start recording until half past the hour.
I've done a reset and it did the same thing tonight. Didn't start recording until 8:30. I checked it as late as 5pm and it was set to record at 8.

House is the only show this is happening with.

Any suggestions?

That shouldn't make a difference.. the dvr had no idea the game went late.
The guide said House at 8 and it didn't start recording until 8:30.

Make sure you didn't accidentally change the DVR setting so that it would start recording "House" a half an hour late. (Though I'm not sure if your model can go that far.)

I checked on all that. I even deleted the season pass and two says later, reset it.
It's really strange.
I don't think House is on for a couple of weeks so we'll see what happens when it comes back.
I'm going to record it on two dvr's and see what happens.
I really don't want to replace the unit .. major hassle.

TiVo did not auto-adjust for the baseball delay. I caught it and extended Lie to Me and extra hour to catch both shows.

Weird problem, guy. Did you consider calling DirecTV to see what they have to say?

I may have to do that, I was hoping I could figure out first. I don't know what they can do other than tell me to do a reset, which I did; or send me a new unit, which I don't want. Shrug.
As I said, House isn't on for a couple of weeks.. so I'll see what happens after
it returns. I will record it on two dvr's and see what happens.

If that doesn't work try creating a recurring manual recording of the time slot.

The whole thing is befuddling. And I will do what you suggested... after I record it on two dvr's. I want to see if it's a glitch in my guides or just that unit.
