Neither of our two PVRs will record. We have many scheduled Series recordings and none of them are happening. This has been going on for weeks. If we press the red button on the remote to record a live program, the guide will show the red dot like it's recording, but the PVR red light does not go on and in the PVR menu under Scheduled it shows "Will Record". Bizarre. We have two TVs with PVRs and we've even tried swapping the PVRs to a different TV. Not helping.
We've rebooted everything in the system multiple times and I just went through a reboot of our fibre terminal (with guidance from My Telus while logged in). Did nothing.
We are also getting strange messages when we try to back up on live programs. The error says something like too many tvs in the home are recording or watching live tv.

I got a call back from Telus shortly after I posted this (from their tech support 1-888-811-2323). A lovely lady named Colleen had me unplug both our PVRs and she remotely rebooted our system. She had to do it a couple of times, having me plug in and restart our PVRs in between reboots. It finally worked (45 minutes on the phone with her). Scheduled recordings now record and recording of live programs also works on both of our PVRs. It's too bad its so tough to troubleshoot this stuff and get assistance from Telus. I wasted time having to listen to a Telus bot tell me how to record stuff on the PVR the first time I called; not helpful. Colleen did say if this happens again they will replace both PVRs. Hope this helps you Linda and anyone else with the same problem; I've seen a lot of threads about this issue.

Telus box is still not functioning properly. Last night was something new, I couldnโt pause or rewind live tv either.
We have 3 boxes. I didnโt check the other boxes. Iโm working during the day but home in the evening if you can troubleshoot more. Hereโs what Iโve done so far:
1. Unplugged the box and wifi router for just over 30 seconds and plugged back in. After the box finished initializing it was still not functioning properly. I did this 4 more times. Still not working.
I deleted scheduled recordings and re-scheduled them. Still not working. Red light does not illuminate but scheduled recordings have red dots showing as if they are.
Thatโs pretty much all I can do on my end. ๐คทโ:female_sign:

We have had this problem for many weeks. I have tried booting and rebooting, deleting old recorded shows, etcโฆ but nothing works. Telus app says I might need to update? but not how, where to get more info or help. Extremely frustrating.

Didn't realize this thread was active when I just opened a new one on the same issue. As I mentioned in the other, I have been dealing with Series Recording (not) for months and have done the cancel/re-schedule and factory reset (by both me and a Team Member) multiple times with no success. They finally sent a new Digital Box, which seemed to correct the issue for about a week, but the problem has returned. So, those anticipating a solution with a Box replacement, don't get your hopes up too high.
