Hi MasterMyDomain, I have had the same issue happen to my DVR after an update. I was able to restore the recordings by restarting the cable box (unplug the power cord, wait 1-2 minutes, plug the power cord backl in), It may take a few minutes for the box to restart, If you still need support, feel free to reach out to us through social meedia facebook or X, or email us at cox.help@cox.com.

I tried that without success, but it's been 2 days since the daily update that caused it so I'll try it again immediately after the next time a recording disappears. Thanks for your help.

Three minutes after today’s daily update I checked the recordings and one disappeared (had been recorded one week ago). So 8 minutes after the update had finished I unplugged the DVR, waited 5 minutes and plugged it back in. It finished rebooting in 4 minutes. I waited 3 minutes then checked and another recording had disappeared (had been recorded late last night). I’ve had this new DVR for 1 month and this is the second time a recording disappeared after a daily update. Recordings have never disappeared between updates. Updates are scheduled for 8:00-10:00AM and I have kept a log every day, usually skipping updates every other day. Today's was 11/16/2024 at 9:22AM PST. I don’t need support, just wanted to give you some feedback that unplugging/replugging didn’t restore a deleted recording but instead deleted a second one.
