can't record world cup games?!

I'd do a hard reboot by unplug/plug in power after 30 seconds. This will fix many DVR problems, let us know if it worked, good luck. 😉

Edit: Have had no problems recording World Cup games from ABC/ESPN.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I tried the reboot thing, the problem is that only the world cup games are not being recorded when everything else is recording correctly. 

Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks

I had the same problem. Clicked on the guide for the event, went throught the menu to select event and not series, everything looked great until I came home tonight to find that I did not have the game on the DVR. This is not the first time this has happened but it will be the last. Between the most primitive DVR I have used in 20 years and the glacially slow internet speeds I am getting, I am dropping  the service this week. Since Uverse has not held up its end of the contract, i.e. providing service, I see no reason to honor my obligation.

BTW, to the guy who recommended a hard reboot, really? Maybe I should defrag the hard drive too. Welcome to the 80's.

Sorry to hear that, so were you recording the world cup matches? I think ill call ATT tmw to ask about it, are there really no solution to this?

btw i figured it out, apparently the recording space was too little even if it had 10%. 

the game automatically deletes itself because it was set to keep until space or something

Actually the DVR should have erased enough room for your recordings, before they were recorded.  That way you would have them. 😉

Listen, believe it or not, it still works.  You do realize that these boxes are using Window CE right.

You were using DVRs in 1994? That's amazing, considering digital TV (ie: TV consisting of over ~70ish channels and channels above number 100) didn't start to make headlines until circa 1999. You also say it is the "most primitive DVR" (your exact words) which is another amazing situation, considering HD DVRs weren't even around until 2006 or so. The first TiVO was shipped in 1999 and it most certainly didn't have three or even four tuners.

My internet at 6Mbps is fine.

I had similar issues with my AT&T dvr; it recorded all of the 2014 FIFA World Cup games EXCEPT the final match. I even cleaned out my dvr memory, added extra time before and after the game times, came home from work to watch the game, and nothing was recorded. I think this happened because the title of the match was changed to "2015 FIFA World Cup Final" instead of "2014 FIFA World Cup". Thanks AT&T.
