Expanded from Comcast DVR Bugs: The Bottomless List

Only records programs that are listed in the program guide. Period.

• The user can't tell the DVR to record from "now" for the next 'n' minutes. It will only allow the user to spontaneously record the "current program" as it perceives it from the program guide listing.
• It will "start" recording when you press the record button but will only continue to the end of (what it thinks is, per the Comcast program guide) the current program.
• It will also record what is in the record butter but only if it thinks that it is part of the current program
• For example: To catch the "House" episode that was shown after the Super Bowl, we had to tell the Comcast DVR to record to separately record the two 30 minute programs that were on the program guide for that time on that night.

(This is one article in a series attempting to catalog the long, long list of flaws in the homemade Comcast software that Comcast forces users to endure on the Motorola DCT 6412 DVR.)
