Recordings list unavailable

Tried it twice again tonight. Didn't resolve the problem. This happens to me often...almost every night around 11:30 pm. At this point, I just usually watch a program on Amazon or Netflix. I'm sick of calling for support and going through the process. I do it myself. Sometimes it works, but usually I just wait either for several hours or sometimes the next day. It's been unavailable for 3 days now. I don't have the time or patience to fool around with it or ATT. I'm about to change my cable/Internet provider. I'm disgusted.

Could using whatever device your streaming those on possibly cause your dvr problem?  Now sure how but then I don't know your setup.  If there's some correlation between these two events see what happens if you try streaming at a different time.  Does the dvr go down then?

If this problem has been repeatedly occurring for some time then why not just ask tech support for a replacement dvr?  At the very least you would eliminate that variable from your problem if the problem continues.  Yes, you will lose all your recordings.  But of course that will happen anyhow if you change providers!

If you are on a promo and you decide to change providers be prepared to pay early termination fees.

Update:

Just thought of something.  When your dvr goes "out" are there any red lights on your gateway?  Your streaming device certainly goes through that.  If the gateway goes down it does take a few minutes to reboot.

Have not been able to access recordings list for a few weeks.  Tried the reboot the dvr suggestion but did not work.  What else?

Try rebooting the gateway (pull plug for 15 secs. and let it fully reboot).  The gateway is the box your dvr is connected to.

Already did that.  Didn't help

If rebooting the gateway plus rebooting the dvr doesn't work then call tech support (800-288-2020).

Its really very simple.   If u lose elec or anything like that your main DVR that holds and records your shows has been shutdown so u will get the message they are unavailable.   Go to your tv that has the DVR.   Press in the power button on the front and hold for 10 seconds.  Turn on tv and it will reboot the sytem and ur recordings will appear.   

I suppose this answer helped in some way, as in, it helps to know I'm not the only one swearing at the cable company and threatening to switch! I've shut down the receiver and called tech support AND waited for 1/2 hour on hold to not talk to somebody who could help.... I'm getting pretty tired of this stuff, too...it's been a week and like some of the other commenters here, it happens so often I just figured I'd wait it out for a couple of days....but even that hasn't worked.  Had a tech out three weeks ago as one of the tv's just stopped working altogether--that tv works now, as they all do, but none of them has access to the recording list.  Now what? Anybody got an idea?
