When did you start scheduling recordings?  Was it before August 2006?  
Was it just days ago?

If you saw this problem before Aug 2006, it's unlikely that it would be 
a change to the DISH software.  If you haven't been using Myth since Aug 
2006, we can't rule that out (without input from other DISH network 
users who have used DISH since before and after Aug 2006).
