We have had ongoing issues with the cloud pvr since we upgraded to Bluecurve about a month ago. The issue is random, but about the same regardless of which program is being recorded. The show seems like it is having some buffering/pixelation, no sound, but the closed captioning seems to be working in real time. Sometimes lightning fast forwarding 5 or 10 minutes into the program then works (but if I rewind the issue comes back). I would understand that this is an issue with that section of the recording then.
Based on my contact with support they directed me to the forums since my issue is "unsupported"
So I'm really just unsure if the cloud recording is a "bad copy", or got corrupted on the Shaw side, or if everybody that recorded that show on that channel would have the same issue, but it's been frustrating. Not sure if anybody here has encountered this
Appreciate the response!
I'm wondering what the thought process is there as I've already bypassed the entire wifi network and repeated the issue via the app and cellular network? Unless there is something happening on the user side at the time of recording and support was incorrect?
I will do some tests taking off bridge mode, but since the issue doesn't occur on every recording, it is tough to confirm without taking down my home network for an extended period of time.
I'm having the same issue. Did you make any further progress troubleshooting this issue?
Did this ever get resolved? I have similar issue and after a month of complaining at support, not getting any resolution told "under investigation as there's a few other customers with this issue"
It's now 2023 and this problem still exists! Never know what channel or show will have this problem, really annoying. Tried to record a show on channel 111 the past 2 days and both were corrupt! The workaround is to check the show through their app, if it doesn't work the recording is corrupt. It it works then you delete the recording from you list then you can watch it on Demand.........problem with that is if it isn't available on Demand your screwed! Honestly previous pvr's going back decades had better options. Now you can't record more than one version of the show, so if you set it up on channel 220 at 10 am and you want to record the same show later in the day in case it was pre-empted you can't. Decades ago you could actually setup a recording manually or by using the cloud.

On my older Gateway PVR, I can choose between "new" and "new-and-repeats".
Also, once the recording was set, I could open the listing, and select to see "view all times" for the program, and then press the "record" button to manually add a recording of the repeat broadcast.
Does your BlueCurve PVR have similar options: "view all times", and manually adding a repeat ?
