Cox Communications - DVR Stopping recording before program is complete
Driving me crazy! Every show is cut off at the very end and I miss the last minute or two of the program.
A technician came out and what he told me is that when the memory gets above 80%, it will start cutting off. Hmmm, doesn't say that anywhere on the site. So, I deleted everything to 10%. Still happening.
WTH???? I tried to extend the recording by 1 minute sometimes 2 but what happens is that it won't let me record another program that starts at the same time the previous should be ending. Thus, making me have to start the 2nd program 1 to 2 minutes late.
This shouldn't be so difficult. Watching an entire program to have the last moments cut off is maddening!
Reason of review: Damaged or defective.
Monetary Loss: $100.
Preferred solution: Price reduction.

When you click Record, look at the list of options. See End Time and simply add 1 minute, or 2 minutes, or anytime you want it to record overtime.
I use this for baseball games that go longer than scheduled. I add 2 hours to those. You can also select a start time a minute or longer before the recording.
It is similar to the old time VCR settings. Choose any recording times within the show you have selected to record.
I'd like to help! It sounds like you might be recording on a channel where the broadcaster is not matching the programming to the hourly slots.
Let me look into this for you. When you have a chance please send me an email at cox.help@cox.com with the details.
Thanks,
