"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" returned last night with two episodes, and so, for the first time in months, I recorded something at 8:00 and 8:30 on NBC. And once again (as happened with "Superstore" regularly), the 8:30 episode recorded for a minute, and then crapped out. I have no idea what might be the source of the problem, or how to get it resolved. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks.

I had that happen when the schedule did a weird overlap with the first show shown as ending at 8:31 but the second show started at 8:30 so the second show never got recorded although I got to see the first minute due to the overlap.  Went to the internet for the second show😎

I hadn't realized "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was back until about 15 minutes beforehand, when I was scrolling through Xfinity's guide screen and noticed that the entire NBC Thursday night lineup was running in Philadelphia on their Cozi TV subchannel (due to an Eagles game).
I'll catch up with it in a few days. (Hope it recorded!) Glad to have it back.
And it's on Peacock too, in case you need to catch up.

yes, Roku to the resku.

funny you should say that -- I did pad the 8:00 ep to run an extra minute, which overlapped the start of the 8:30 ep. but I do this all the time, and the only issue is specifcally at 8:30 on NBC (on Thursday, at least -- I don't watch much NBC on other nights, so it hasn't come up).  NBC is running two eps again next week, and I'll try letting 8:00 end on time and starting the other a minute early

Peacock (at least as of two hours ago) doesn't have last night's episodes. neither does Hulu. had to let Roku load the NBC option

Aw, crap. I should have realized NBC10 running the Eagles would mean something wasn't recording.  At least it's available from the 'Cock.
