I don't know the build you are using, but assuming it's atv based, press the menu button and then select Setup -> Recordings & Timeshift -> Recording settings and make sure 'Recordings always have priority' is set to yes. and then press the green button to save.
Also having recording issues, tonight recorded 1 out 3 programmes, I have altered the settings to 0 minutes on the recording start and stop over run timers, but still has a tedancy to crash and restart, only just moved over to open atv from vix due mainly to the audio description issues but never had recording problems with vix like this, will look into the settings as in above posts, the recordings are showing in the file list but it’s not actually there.
