DVR-R10 randomly stops recording with 10-15 mins. left in the show. I have only noticed the problem at night. There are no power issues or signal loss. No conflicting recordings. DVR continues working normally just stops recording early.
If it's your cable box DVR, you need to call your cable provider to reset your cable box.

Turn off the receiver, unplug the receiver, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, and go through the setup again. This hard restart clears the memory and restarts the DVR software(clears any software glitches) This should fix this problem assuming that your satellite signal is good. Check that during the resetup. Most transponders will show between 70 to 100 signal strength. (Minimum is 70 for error free reception) Several transponders will show 0 as they are dead on the satellite, and not a receiver problem) If your satellite signal is in the 70's or less, you either live in Maine or you may need to realign the dish or something is blocking the signal like a tree or bush growing that is partially blocking the signal causing the signal to drop out(partial recordings)

You have an internal hard drive error. You will need a new box.

call tech support & ask them to hit your box to reset it, in the meanwhile unplug it for 15 seconds

i am not terribly familiar with these systems but there are probably two sattelite in ports on the back of the receiver, one is a line for watching one program or recording, the other strictly for recording, one of these inputs is probably no longer receiving signal

Unplug it from the power for about 30 minutes and then try again. If it still doesn't work I would call DirecTV and discuss getting it replaced.
