Ah, but nospace, you've omitted to learn Rule 3, which is that if you're right, then you're probably not...

Suggestions are on by default when the box is installed, so they must have been turned off some time later. So they could have been recorded before that.

How recently did you delete the lost recording? If in the past week, Recording Hiccups might give some clues about where it has gone. (Though I'm not sure which box would show it if you deleted it remotely from the V6)

Suggestions will never overwrite your planned recordings. Clearly something went wrong on your box, but it wasn't because of Suggestions. Most likely the hard drive is starting to fail. Keep a close eye on it.

So years of recordings have gone down the drain!
I had to reset the box to get rid of all these useless recordings.
There is obviously a problem with the programming of this box and it needs to be fixed but Virgin was not interested.

Do you have a TiVo or a V6?

Most of my ghostly deletions are dated in the past two months, so no go to that theory.

The missing one was about three weeks ago, but I can’t remember its name. Now, without all the ‘ghosts’ it would be a lot simpler to locate it.

I think for now I’ll just have to be more careful.
