ABC Miami Channel 446/1018 DVR issues
Is anyone else having issues with the new ABC channel in Miami / Ft. Lauderdale / South Florida? Since it started on Monday, August 4th, anything I try to record is unplayable.

It appears there is a technical issue which Comcast has not fully identified yet. I've been talking to someone at corporate and they have submitted it for further review. The current thought is that the new ABC affiliate station is not broadcasting the correct information, but whether that's true or not, I've found some oddities. For example, I set to record the local news and that worked and was viewable, but not shows from the ABC network.
One potential temporary workaround is trying to record from channel 18 which is the SD (rather than HD) channel. I've had mixed luck with that, it worked one day but not the next, but worth a try.
One thing I found earlier in the week is that some shows I had set to record prior to August 4th for every new episode, when I looked at the Record settings, it would show to record only if it was on "HDWPLG" which was the old ABC affiliate station so it wouldn't record the show at all since it was no longer on that channel. I deleted those and reset using the new channel 446 but then it would record but not playback which is the ongoing issue.
Other than contacting Comcast to let them know you're also having this issue, it probably doesn't pay to spend much time with them as it's not something they'll be able to fix while you're on hold.
Here's wishing us all good luck on this!
