Well...it's Dec 5th...and the problem is still happening...so Directv hasn't fixed the problem yet! I record a lot of shows on the History Channel, H2, Velocity, and Discovery channel and I have gotten to where I have to check every day to make sure my shows tape. This past week...it skipped some shows on the ABC, CBS and NBC for no reason at all. One was a special my wife had set to record, and luckily she set it to record on our older DVR also. She accused me of canceling the show!!!
It would be nice if Directv addressed the issue....and fixed the Genie so it worked correctly!!
