Time Warner DVR problems?

Has anyone else started experiencing problems with their Time Warner DVR? It seems like they recently upgraded the system on the box (automatically) and since then I've had problems. Shows that used to record fine are now shifted off by 30 min, meaning I get half of 60 Minutes and half of the Amazing Race. Plus, the search function to find a show inexplicably doesn't show some shows (try finding the current season of the Amazing Race... you can only find the repeats from 6 seasons ago on Game Show Network).

Not the end of the world, but fairly annoying. Any similar experiences?

    the Search function does seem messed up, or changed in a way that I'm not tweaking to . . .
    but my timer is working otay.

    60 Minutes moves alot with sports programming, right? The DVR doesn't adjust for program delays as far as I know.

    I never tried the search button, but if your problem is with 60 minutes it may be because there have been football games right before. The games are going long, pushing the start of 60 minutes well past 7pm. DVR doesn't seem to know how to accomodate this and just tapes btw 7-8pm no matter what is being shown.

    Yeah. What's up with DVRs saying it "knows" when your show is on but can't adjust to the show getting delayed due to sporting evens or Bush speeching it up in the primetime??
