Media Center help...won't record channel from channel guide.

by vorticonthe1st Sep 3, 2010 2:45AM PDT

To put this as simply as possible, here is my dilemma:

I watch Howdy Doody on my computer at 5pm on channel 22. At 6pm, I change over to the news on channel 10.

At 7pm, I set my computer up to record 'Rubicon' tonight on cable channel 40 at 9pm. I use Media Center Guide to find it and click 'record' and watch it later tonight, because right now, at 7pm, I want to watch the ballgame on my living room tv.

After the ballgame is over, about 11:00pm, I go back to my computer to watch Rubicon, that I think I have set up to record.

But Media Center hasn't recorded 'Rubicon' on Channel 40. It has recorded a cooking show that was on channel 10, the last channel I had on when I watched the news at 6pm.

What have I done wrong in my Media Center setup after having hooked up the cable box and finally getting the whole remote thing set up?

Thanks for any help!!
