Yes I've seen that before. Sometimes it is due to a recording conflict. Sometimes I've found it just didn't record a program due to some unknown error.

Try going into the recording section and manually set the recording again.

Usually that's because two recordings already scheduled. Higher priority.??????

My 3400 went several weeks, maybe months, and no problem. I go on vacation and come back and it says 90% which of course means it lost contact with the external drive. Restarted to get 0% but a few hours later it does it again.

Any word on whether or when Shaw and/or Motorola (or new owner) will be fixing this problem?

I also had a couple programs that got interrupted but still manage to complete (in two parts). Anyone have this problem? I could have been a power interruption but had that been the case other electronic equipment would not still have been on.

Re: insync44's red line with a circle: That happens to me when I schedule too many recordings at one time and one of my series recordings is then pushed out. But it has also popped up once or twice when it shouldn't. I go to "set or cancel a recording" for that show, try to cancel it and start over. If that doesn't work, then I schedule a recording to override it. One of those usually works.
