A recording glitch that a user had with Spectrum Guide and Feedback about the On Demand Portal:
For episodes 1 and 3 of the new season of The Last Ship, only the last 20 minutes of the show were recorded, despite showing as actively recording at the time. Episode 2 was fine. Came home Wednesday to watch the previous nights new episode of Strange Evidence and the percentage bar was up to 11 % used, and nothing but Strange Evidence was on my DVR.
Turns out despite only showing that the recording was 60 minutes long, and giving no indication that the box was recording, the DVR was actively recording Science Channel and was recording it for the past 20 hours or so.
Oh yeah, in order to get to the DVR screen it took me 5 or 6 tries, it kept giving me the same error over and over.
Something needs to be done about not being able to use the channel buttons to advance past the On demand channels. This is getting down right aggravating. All of the OD channels put you on the same page anyhow, so they should just hide them all in the Spectrum Guide and just have a Portal on ch 100 or 1000.

My comments,
I understand that the On Demand Portal in Spectrum Guide is not a channel, but a menu and cannot be moved off using the Channel up/down buttons. Users must enter the channel number to exit an On Demand Channel.
His DVR recording issues sounds like bugs.
