I have my HDHR Prime set as priority, but when recording local channels for passes, the recording is defaulting to the OTA HDHR device.
Is there a way to force the DVR to use the Prime device. The passes were set up before adding the Prime device and I tried canceling and setting up new pass but still defaults to the OTA device.
I also tried forcing the channel in the pass settings but that resulted in a show not being recorded. Also, my locals are not DRM protected.
Thanks for the help!
Where is the priority set? The client app priority listing is for live viewing in that client only. Recording priority must be set from the DVR's web UI.
Also, for the recording that did not record and had a channel specified, what did the logs show at the time?
It's set in the DVR's web UI and on the client.
Here is the log from tonight for WWE Smackdown and Bluebloods, the shows recorded on 35.1 and 6.1, respectively vs. the PRIME station 1035 and 806, respectively.

Favorites also come into play when choosing recording priority. Any chance you have the OTA stations favorites in the DVR UI but not the equivalent prime channels?
I did have some favorites, thank you for your help! I removed the favs on the web UI, hopefully this records on the PRIME going forward. Much appreciated!
Would be good for them if they updated this Support Article.
