Shows not recording Cisco 9865HDC

There are certain shows that just won't record. The message I get is either "show didn't record because not found in guide" or "shoe did not record because there was a scheduling conflict". I never changed anything and even if I did, this thing is supposed to record up to 6 shows at once isnt it? Very frustrating. Nothing but trouble with this box since switching from direct TV. Should've listened to everyone.

Jon Wikler, 

Can you provide some examples of shows which would not record & the scheduled times due to not being found in the guide?

This happens to me too (infrequently).  The Guide does not allow us to go back in time to see what the problem was.  On my last DVR (Scientific Atlanta product) i could go back apx 1 day to see if there was a conflict.  I prefer the Cisco 9865 Record 6 so i am willing to put up with its quirks. 

The Thursday afternoon March 12 show "Olberman" on ESPN2 was supposed to be one of my Series Recordings. I get it recorded every day.  On Thursday, the show ended up in my MISSED RECORDINGS file.  The reason was "..... not found in Guide" ......as you stated.   There is currently no way to check the Guide for THursday to see why this might have happened.
