Hi user_2a9b63! We appreciate you taking the time to reach out on our Xfinity Forum. My team is here to support you. I'm sorry to hear that your scheduled recordings are not recording properly. I certainly understand the importance of getting this fixed as soon as possible. 

 

For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried manually rebooting your cable box to see if that helps correct this issue on your end? 

 

To manually reboot, unplug the power cable from the back of the cable box(s), wait 10-15 secs, plug the power cable back in, and allow 10 mins or less for the box to reboot. Please let us know the results.

This has happened before.  It seems to be NE florida. On this forum and social platforms everyone is complaining about this.  It is apparently an upgrade that xfinity has done

user_2a9b63 Have you tried syncing the cloud on the DVR? To sync your Xfinity X1 DVR, press the Xfinity button on your remote, select the gear icon (Settings), navigate to Device Settings, scroll down, and select Sync DVR

Same issue here. Northeast FL Jacksonville area. Began on Fri 3/13 evening when noticed my scheduled shows were not recording! Then realized I also could not record any other shows from the Guide. Nothing shows up in 'Schuduled'. The Guide shows half red circles. Rebooted the dvr box Fri evening and again today on Sat 3/14 to no avail. At this point pretty convinced its an Xfinity system issue that I hope they correct very soon. In the meantime I hope someone from systems that knows whats happening gets word to the customer support group or better yet also documents the issue and the status right here in the forum.

Comcast is aware there is an issue with DVR recordings, they are working on it, and the issue should be resolved by tomorrow.

I didn’t do anything. I’ve just been patiently waiting for it to start working again and lo and behold it’s working now. 😊

@user_4fljsk​ the regular service people either voice or online seemed clueless about cloud based DVR.. Kept asking about my X1 box or wanting to send me a new DVR...

Thank u. We just wanted someone to acknowledge the problem   It would be a good idea to tell your customer service agents when there is an issue so we don’t all waste our time

@user_x883uo - Thank you for adding your comment with similar concerns. Checking this morning, I'm not seeing any open tickets for this issue. Are you still experiencing problems with your DVR recordings?

@XfinitySara​ problem appeared to clear up yesterday (3/17) morning. I can only assume that the obviously widespread issue (see locations of prior comments) was eventually fixed. it would be good if there was a way we could check for this kind of outages without doing web searches and reading multiple chatroom threads to find a related issue. Maybe a REAL person hotline???

On the Xfinity App, it will let you know if there are any interruptions in the area.  Do you have the Xfinity app?

@user_x883uo​ The regular support whether online or on calls were clueless.. They also seemed to have little clue what Cloud DVR was and did steps as if there was a local drive..
