The program is in the Previously recorded list but it's in red. I
presume that means it's still going to try and record it.
Unfortunately there's only one showing of that show a week, no reruns,
so it missed it and cannot do much about it at this point.

I do not see any reason listed here. It just says 'Find Weekly -
Recording' in yellow down in the bottom left.

The only other program around 8AM on Sunday is Meet the Press. So, as
I thought, it was in the list to record but for some reason did not
record. Question is why?

Still having the problem with exiting Myth killing X. It just happened again.
