I can’t watch anything in the Channels DVR interface. When I find a program in the guide I’d like to watch, when i click on “Watch Now” nothing plays. Instead I get a “Remuxing” feedback that never ends (I’ve waited as long as 15 minutes). I get the same problem if I try to watch a program that is recording.
Why is any “remux” happening at all? I’ve never seen anything like this on our TiVo Bolts that have 4 tuners and can each record and play back live or recorded programming in essentially real-time. I get almost the same performance with Windows Media Center (on my Win7 PCs) with the exception that some issues can crop up if recording more than 3 high-bitrate sources simultaneously.
I can’t imagine what is happening, but I checked a recording file in Windows Explorer and see that it is saving a file with a .mpg extension. This seems problematic because all of our Xfinity programming that is not local is sent in an H.264 format.
Any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks!
