I have had an old model Shaw PVR for a few years and I recently (4 days ago) bought a Shaw 500gb PVR from Future Shop, the interface seems to be exactly the same but I'm having issues with recording programs.

My problem is that when I record a program, it seems to record fine, the lights turn on and the program shows up in the list but when i try to watch it, nothing really happens. I push play and the screen doesn't change, the bar at the bottom doesn't switch to the program, nothing.

I called Shaw, and the person I talked to didn't really know anything about PVR's, all they could really tell me was that that's not how they are supposed to work (thanks for that), and that maybe I should try to take the box back to Future Shop and have them look at it.

Anyone have similiar problems before?
