Record Series not starting this week?

[Chiefmas 40]

I've had the TV functionality setup and working fine for a while, but I was asked if I could DVR the game show Wheel of Fortune for someone. No problem...I find it in the guide, and I tell it to record the series, and tell it to keep up to 10 episodes. Nice and straightforward, seems simple enough just like every DVR thing of the past 20 years. It should have picked up the first one today, just a little bit ago...there's nothing.

I go look to see what happened, and found if I check the schedule tab(which I assume is the schedule of recordings), that it has queued up recordings for Monday and Tuesday of next week. That's all. This is a 5 day a week show, but I thought maybe I just started in an off week with re-runs. Go check- no, the guide indicates today was a new show. As are the rest of them this week, which aren't listed in the schedule either. Thinking maybe something is off or I did it wrong, I cancel the recording and re-configure the series recording. Same result, Monday and Tuesday of next week, nothing of this week.

So...I don't know what's going on, or if I've got something off. If I individually queue the broadcasts of this week, they show up in the schedule- I don't know why my series record I just added isn't queuing them. I didn't see a "starting" date for that, and I also would have though it would tag the rest of next week, but if I go with the idea it only schedules 7 days in advance, that would explain only going through Tuesday of next week, but not why nothing is scheduled for this week, despite otherwise appearing to meet the criteria.

So, any ideas? I guess in the mean time I'll just manually queue this week up.

I suppose for now, the main thing I'm looking to find out if that's just a behavior where it doesn't process the current week or something like that.

Thanks!

Hi there, let's look at a specific example of something that didn't record that you think should have:

May have been file system permission problem on my end. If tomorrow's doesn't record, I'll do the full report.

Thanks!

Ok, yup, recording itself was a permissions problem. Still not quite sure why the initial add of the schedule didn't start until the following week, but it's such a relatively small thing for me that I don't need to pursue it at the moment.

Thanks!
