Hi all,

I have an HDhomerun twin tuner that works great. I am currently recording two channels that are a subscription.
I can't go into the recordings pane and cancel either of them. Stop does not work and there is no delete button.

How do you stop a recording?

If you are watching, there is a right-click menu item called "Cancel current recording".  You can also go to Standard view and select the program that is scheduled to be recorded, a "Cancel Recording" button should appear.

For future Interact searchers, if the recording is a subscription, the "cancel recording" selections are greyed out.

In order to stop the recording, you have to go into "Configure Recording", and then there are multiple choices, including stop the recording while retaining the subscription.

Thanks for that reminder. I've worked this out before when I've needed to but your tip will probably help bed in the process. It would be better if a more direct method was available though.

I am not seeing this.  Cancel Recording (button or right-click menu item) is available for me, even for subscriptions except in Recording Rules view.

This happened to be during the period of time added by "Keep recording after programs end by..."

Is it possible that whether or not "Cancel Recording" is available is determined by the Guide Listings program duration, and not by the actual period of time that includes the Start Early and End Late ?

[Yaobing]

I think that must be it.

I think that must be it.

Can the MC20 code be changed to take into account the Start Early and End Late modifications?

Or will we need to use my workaround?

(The vast majority of my use of Stop Recording is during the "End Late" time period.  Typically, that will be anywhere from 30 to 150 minutes added after a sporting event - multiple overtimes or extra time, penalty kicks, trophy presentations, etc.  Stopping the recording then allows tuner conflicts that previously would have gone in favor of the sporting event, to no longer exist, and allow the minor event such as a news program, to be recorded.)
