sappatoti -> RE: sudden problem recording movies (8/9/2010 5:37:32 PM)

I just did a quickie trip through GoogleLand and didn't see anyone one else having this same problem, so I'm making an assumption that, perhaps, something has recently gone wrong in your setup.
First step... (and please don't get upset with this for as common as it seems to be, it's one of the most overlooked areas of troubleshooting by users)... are all of the necessary cables plugged in where they should be? Sometimes normal dusting can dislodge or break a cable.
Next... try replacing cables with known good ones, even if it means having to find a friend to exchange cables with or going out yourself and purchasing new ones.
Next... make sure any programming of the Direct TV receiver or DVD recorder is set correctly. A power outage or imperceptible surge can sometimes put a glitch into programming. You may even want to reset the programming on the devices and reprogram. (OK, I know no one that actually wants to reprogram these things but, from personal experience, I have found that reseting then reprogramming clears up many irksome troubles.)
Just a few things to check that crossed my mind.
