DVR Won't Record Scheduled Shows
Just within the last couple of days, my Contour Record 6 DVR stopped recording scheduled recordings. Manually set recordings are OK. I have power-cycled the DVR and rebooted twice in the last 24 hour...

I did try to reset my cable box from the Cox website w/ no luck.
I am also able to get into the "Modify Series Priority" screen."
I think my scheduled series recordings may have started to work again this morning. I'll report back tomorrow.
There’s obviously some reason why your scheduled recordings failed. You’ve eliminated an issue with Series Manager. You can also eliminate a Cox change of your DVR service from Record 6 to Record 2. (A conflict with a third recording would have generated a "higher priority" error. You said the DVR hadn't identified any missed recordings).
Did any scheduled programming record from last Thursday-Friday until this morning? If the issue persisted for 3-5 days, you can probably eliminate outage as the cause. It might be a signal issue. Have you noticed anything else that might indicate a poor signal that could affect scheduled programming?
If you haven't done so already, you should contact cox.help@cox.com and ask them if they are aware of any recent issues with your account or in your area that might have affected scheduled program recording. Also, ask them if they can check your signal.
Well, everything is back to normal and nobody did anything to fix it.
If you don't know why it happened, it could happen again at any time. You never did really say what you did to determine it was a scheduled programming issue or how long it occurred or even if all scheduled programming failed. Was it due to a signal issue? Was it a temporary outage? Did somebody unplug your DVR? Guess we'll never know.
