I have a TiVo Premiere Q from my cable provider. It seems to have a diabolical sixth sense when it comes to TiVo Suggestions. It keeps all the stuff I'm not interested in, but deletes the programs I want to watch immediately after recording them, and leaving no trace that they ever existed.
I tried to narrow this down. What I want to watch are full length movies. I don't care about episodes of TV shows. So at first I thought the TiVo deleted all suggestions that are two hours or longer. But then I noticed that it does keep many movies on the drive - just not the ones I want to see!
Some movies it deleted before I had a chance to watch them: Secretariat, The Guardian, Babe, Mo Better Blues. Fairly well-regarded movies in their time. It also deleted Karate Kid II (which had good reviews) but kept Karate Kid III (which didn't).
So I am left with two possible explanations: Either the TiVo box is bad, or else TiVo just deletes what it considers to be premiere movies that it would rather have you pay to see. (But oddly enough, it kept Slumdog Millionaire).
I should also mention that this is the second box in a row that had this exact same problem. So could I possibly have gotten two bad boxes with the same rare defect, or is it actually a movie copyright issue?
It is not a question of disk space. The boxes were new with barely anything on them. So that's all I can think of. Several calls to TiVo support got me nowhere - they have never heard of this issue. And my cable provider just gives me the runaround. Does anyone here know about this, and do I need a THIRD new box?
Thank you for your help and attention.
