I can't answer your question. After it happened a couple of times I figured out what was happening. I "restore" the first showing just a few hours before it airs. Thus it is no longer skipped. The history doesn't go back far enough to pick up the actual skips I experienced.

No, that isn't the problem. I have gone so far as to delete all other timers (besides ESPN and SPEED) and the problem still exists. Thanks though. Oh, and I have also deleted all timers and started from scratch. Same problem.

Yes, that was the first thing I thought of. Priority settings make no difference. Sure appreciate your response though. Bob .

No problems for the first 18 months. Problem started about 6-8 weeks ago. This is hard to describe and I hope this makes sense. I have a timer to record all new Nascar Racing events for both ESPN and SPEED channels. The live race airs on ESPN. SPEED re-broadcasts the race a few days later...
