Recording in 1970?

[BillR]

I would like to setup some recordings but the “Date” field is pre-set to 1970? I have searched high and low but I can’t find any way to set it other than 1970. Why is the year actually relevant for this? I can’t believe we’re supposed to hold the scroll button down to go through 55 years of time! Is there a fix for this?

Is the time on your box actually set correctly ?  Typically it will auto set the time, but maybe the auto time settings didn't work (some ISP block certain destinations (NTP is rarely blocked, but sometimes you never know) ?

I just tried to set 2 manual recordings, and both ways (either from Main home page selecting PVR, or from LiveTV, selecting Menu and then PVR - which is essentially the same) and then selecting to create a new recording automatically filles in everything with the current date/time as start, and 1 minute later as the end time.  If you are doing this some other way, please provide details.

I know most people typically set up recording from the EPG, they just scroll, find the program they want in the future, and then press OK, which then prompts you if you want a reminder, to record, or return.

Check the time on your box, and if that is set correctly, please post your firmware and software version on your box (should be in the updates screen).
