DVR recordings being deleted overnight

I recently had my ARRIS DVR box replaced. I specifically declined having it replaced with a cloud DVR because I want to keep the recordings stored locally on my DVR box. Since it was replaced, I don't know what has happened on Cox's end, but my DVR recordings randomly and mysteriously get deleted overnight.  It has nothing to do with reaching memory capacity. What's going on?

    Recordings being deleted overnight is a known issue that's been happening with Contour DVRs for at least 5 years.  What brand and model DVR did get when the Arris DVR was replaced?

        It was replaced May 7, 2025 by Cox subcontractor Down 2 Earth. The tech couldn't get it to work. He opened a ticket with Cox. It was brought on line the next day. Since then, my recordings get automatically deleted over night.
