Can't record a particular channel??

#1

Any thoughts as to why I cannot record a particular channel? This is a sports channel BEINSports. My guide shows the guide data. I can record pay channels such as HBO or PPV. Looking at the Series settings for a show on this channel it shows no upcoming episodes. I can go into the guide and find this show and try to right click on the show and I have the options to record or record series and nothing works. I tried recording other shows on this channel and its a no go. All my other channels work just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

I suppose the first thing to check is does the channel have a copy never flag on it?

Another thing can you try recording it from Windows 7?

Thanks Crash, how would I check to see if there is a copy never flag on it?

I finally got that channel working. I had to do a complete rescan of all of my channels. After the rescan, I changed the series settings from "only record on channel 429" to "hd preferred" then everything was working. I originally had it set to "hd preferred" and changed it to "channel 429" to see if that would help during my troubleshooting. I think the rescan of the channels is what really fixed the issue.
