Simply reboot your Tivo and everything will be happy. Has nothing to do with overlap protection, or any software change, other than their last release. If you follow further in the thread, its uptime that causes the problem, meaning that a reboot will resolve. Check over at TiVoCommunity

It just stopped recording for no apparent reason. WAKE UP AND FIX THIS, TIVO!!!

A good example of this is during the Olympics, which have 4 hour blocks. I might want to schedule that, but have a 30 min. program already scheduled during that time. What I have to do then is to schedule manually.

Last night I, of course, Googled and found that, at least, I'm not alone. What's most disturbing though, isn't the problem (it's technology - things break) but that TiVo still hasn't officially responded to the users and didn't even unofficially respond, it seems, for well over a month, based on the comments on some of the threads I've read.

Even when shows had nothing bumping up against them the last few minutes would get cut off. I turned off overlap protection and now it works fine. It's stupid that Tivo hasn't fixed it, but I didn't use the overlap that much anyway. I had the exact same problem.
