Make sure you are looking at the All Recordings group in watch recordings.
In the watch recordings area hit "Menu" on your remote or "M" on your
keyboard then select Change Group Filter.

If that does not work I want you to go into mysql and run the following

select * from recorded;

|   1004 | 2005-09-30 21:00:00 | 2005-09-30 22:00:00 | Threshold
| The Burning                   | A routine search for an escaped
psychiatric patient becomes a mystery when Molly and the Red Team learn the
patient is having the same dreams as Caffrey, Cavennaugh and Pegg.

See where it says Default above. That is your recording group.
If it is blank you might need to update it to have a group there.
