Recording a show in progress
I'm inquiring to find out if this has been fixed or added as an option, as it is EXTREMELY frustrating.
How is it that as a function of "Record", while remaining on the same channel, I cannot recor...

Here is what happens: I'm watching something and have watched it from the beginning, so it is in buffer. I decide to record the whole program, so I press record. It always starts recording from that point. Even if I rewind to the program beginning and then press record, it still only records from the current live moment. What I haven't tried is pulling up the guide and setting record there on something that is in progress. Is that what you did? Or perhaps there is a setting somewhere that I need to fix? I'd love to figure this out!!
No, I was watching a live channel when I started playback for a recorded program. When I dropped out of the recorded program, I pressed REC to record the current channel (what I was watching before recorded program playback). It began recording that channel from before I began watching the recorded program.
I was also able to record, from the start of the buffer, other channels I had recently watched. The amount of program recorded depended upon the amount of programming in the buffer for each channel.
I have Cox TV and you have Contour. It's a difference in how the two platforms work. Cox TV records from the buffer. Contour records from the live stream, regardless of how you start the recording. There isn't a setting to fix that.
