Last night I set my DVR to schedule the Blue Jacket vs Stars hockey game. It was to begin at 8:30. I went to a movie and returned at about 9:30 intending to watch the game from the beginning on the cable DVR. It was on FSNO. It turned out that one of the players had an emergency health issue about midway through the first period, he collapsed and the game was postponed to a future date. My DVR had none of the game on it. According to the DVR, I was recording the Blue Jackets-Stars game but it was not what was recorded. My first thought was that the entire game had been postponed due to weather or something, but no, half of the first period was played, yet none of it appeared on my DVR. Instead I got past MMA fights. My neighbor, who was watching the game on TV live on FSNO, did see the incident.
Question; Is it possible for the broadcasting network or the cable provider to pull from a customer's DVR what would already have been shown of a program in progress, and reinsert other programming? That is what seems to have happened.
Any chance your DVR didn't spring forward? Did your friend watch the game on the same channel, in the same area where you live? Do you both get your tv signal for that channel from the same provider? Was that game live in your time zone?
I've had a DVR for over 7 years. I've never heard of any cable provider accessing/deleting programming on my DVR.

At 9:30 I began watching what I thought was going to be the game which then would have been an hour into play. The DVR recorded an hour from FSNO but it was not the game. It was old MMA fights. But FSNO did broadcast the game (what there was of it) because my neighbor saw it. I find it perplexing.

How does your neighbor receive FSNO? Maybe his provider showed it while yours did not.
I had recorded FSNO and my neighbor was watching FSNO, so I do not see how a different provider would make a difference.
I dunno. It seemed to make sense yesterday when I needed more coffee.
