I’ve been using Plex for years and not come across this issue before. I’m currently recording TV shows without any issue but this one just wont record. Its “Dancing with the Stars” Australia (don’t judge, its for the wife not me - and she is getting cranky).

I hit record on the show in Guide, click “New & Repeat” (there are repeats available) etc and all looks good. I get the Red Record icon showing next to the show and also get the red icon at other times and other channels the same show is on, but when I go to the “DVR Schedule” its not listed. It also shows on the “recording priority” list but as “no upcoming airings”. Any thoughts as to why? I’ve refreshed the guide, rebooted Plex etc. but this one show just wont record.

I believe Channel 70 is normally for Sunshine Coast. I would try setting up your guide with another suburb postcode

All my other 7HD recordings work fine. Its also on the general TV guide for Brisbane.  
I think the issue is why does it show as recording on the guide, but not on the DVR schedule?

Yeah , we get Brisbane channels up here but there are small differences at times.

Try a different suburb postcode

Could you do me a favour. Hit record for “dancing with stars” (on at 7.00pm Sunday on 7HD) so you get the red icon on the guide, then see if it appears on your DVR Schedule?  
That way I can tell if its just me or something funky about the show parameters.

You don’t need to use your postcode
