Recording issues when trying to Record programs onto my 2 Contour2 DVR host boxes
I've been having a discussion on another blog, and thought I would be fair to the original blogger to create another post. forums.cox.com/.../change-start-time-on-scheduled-recording---contour-2
First, I would like to apologize to Ferfer for carrying on a conversation within his blog.
The issue in discussion was associated with a 2 DVR host Contour2 box system. With the whole house system, I could not control where recordings were being recorded. The boxes were 2record machines that often had recordings appearing on it that were initiated on the other machine. Neither DVR could see the other, except that both would see the same Scheduled shows.
Cox in Contour1 had a help option to Isolate each machine from each other, which I do not see in my 2 boxes. This option would absolute work for me. I should probably switch to a 6record host and multiple client boxes, but I'm reluctant or too lazy to switch. I guess I just like the pain of trying different options.
CurtB, Yes, I need to physically go to the other DVR to see its contents. There is a pulldown of Family & Office of the recordings...appearing on both boxes as I showed in my image. The disk space is different on both and the listed recordings under each are different. I see shows appearing on Office DVR that were originated from the Family Rm DVR. I will eliminate the scheduled recordings on both and start fresh. When I record on a DVR, I also make sure that the Record On toggle is also indicating the correct box. Hard to explain unless you have a 2 box system. There is no way I see to force recordings, under 2, to go onto the DVR that initiates it.
