Last night a recording failed, which didn't give my wife much confidence that she'll continue to be able to watch her shows now that we've cancelled our Directv service. The "previously recorded" list shows "recorder failed" for this recording. The backend log shows:<br>

Is there any other place I can look to find out why it failed to record this show?<br>

I'm guessing the capture device failed to provide any data for the backend to write.<br>

Also, note that you have an orphaned Live TV recording shown above (the "should be local, but it can not be found" messages).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not sure what you mean by that. Looking at the backend log, there are a ton of those message, even for stuff that was successfully recorded. It looks like every time a recording starts, something tries to access the recording file a few times before it's actually ready.</div>
