Thank you for your concern. There are a number of reasons why you might get this message. They include digital rights to a show not allowing recording, you not having enough storage space to record a show or series, or exceeding the limit of feeds you can record. The last is true of Satellite TV. If you tell us what TV service you have we might be able to say more.

It may be a rights issue. I've noticed it with Bravo shows. I have several other series set to record and they all do, except for these. I have Bell Fibe better package and have had it for over a decade so I'm confident that it's not human error or a space issue.

Thank you for post and welcome to the Community.
Are you able to share which receiver model you have?
Are you also able to share which show's you're attempting to record that are giving you this error?
Looking forward to hearing back.
