Since updating my EPG, *new* scheduled records don't record

Last year, I had a terrible time getting my EPG to update to use the new source after MS dropped "Zap2It". :(

Eventually, I managed to get it working, but ever since, any new Scheduled Recordings don't record, yet older shows scheduled prior to the update still record just fine.

The guide is fine. It shows all my local programming at the correct times on the correct channels with names & descriptions. I'll schedule a recording by right-clicking on a listing and selecting either "Record" or "Record Series". Even setting it to record "New & Rerun" doesn't matter (I know what I'm doing.)

I have no clue why this would be. Anyone? Thanks.

Because the quality/accuracy of Rovi's guide data is abysmal, as discussed ad nauseam in this thread:

The solution is EPG123:
