How do I avoid missing extra innings, overtimes and the like?
Padding, new in 3.0. Padding goes up to 240 minutes, for those 7 period playoff hockey games and 13 inning baseball games. 57. My recording consists entirely of a black screen. This is rare, but the MPEG chip may be hung. Power cycle your ReplayTV by turning it off, waiting for the drive to spin down and unplugging it for 30 seconds. Also, make sure your cable box or satellite receiver is not powered off. Many devices will put out a live black screen when they are “off”. 58. My recording consists entirely of a blue screen. Your recording source was likely turned off. Make sure your spouse / kids didn’t turn the cable box off. Make sure the channel or line input is correct on your VCR if it is between your cable box and your ReplayTV. Did you have a power outage by any chance? It is likely that your cable box will not turn itself back on but your ReplayTV will. Buy a cheap UPS to avoid this. 59. I have a Simpsons theme and it recorded the episode from 6:00-6:30 but not the one from 6:30
