Well here are the results of my tests.
Last night I recorded a few shows and only set them to record once. they
all worked fine. The shows I record in the morning were removed and set to
record once. They worked perfectly this morning.
Question.. Is it possible that something is screwed up on my system as I am
sure this is not a bug but something specific to me. I am going to live
this be for a few more days to be certain, and then I will redo the 2 shows
for daily recordings and see if the problem comes back
If anyone has any ideas please post away..
Jim
