Here’s the crux of the article in video form
New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on October 20, 2022) follows:
The Recast box can be put anywhere in the house within the reach of the coax cable connected to an antenna which also lets users stream live videos.
Fire TV Recast shows not recording
Fire TV Recast doesn’t initiate the process when users set their desired programs for recording. In fact, users get a message saying that the shows are already scheduled for the same.
Affected users have tried restarting the Fire TV Recast but to no avail. Even resetting the entire section filled with scheduled recordings doesn’t seem to help.
It appears that a similar issue troubled users in the past which was soon fixed. However, it has popped up again.
Official acknowledgment
We also found a workaround that previously helped some users who were struggling to find their list of recordings. So those affected now can try the same.
We hope that the developers soon find the root cause of the issue at hand.
We’ll keep tabs on further developments and update this article accordingly.
Update 1 (October 21, 2022)
13:25 pm (IST): According to a few recent reports, it appears that the issue only occurs when users try to record an entire series. However, recording individual episodes seems to be working fine.
Update 2 (October 24, 2022)
Thanks for the tip: David Wolf!
Update 3 (October 26, 2022)
Update 4 (October 27, 2022)
10:38 am (IST): One of our readers said that they have to go through all their recordings and set them to a single episode in order to record them.
And while they are recording without any issues, they have to do it every day.

Update 5 (November 22, 2022)
Thanks for the tip: Tim Barnes!
we’ll see if it actually records. the overall customer service ticket is #v736985806 if you want to get your own status.
because amazon isn’t selling the recast anymore, i’m probably going to go with the TABLO next time this one craps out again. they’re still planning on providing support for the recast….at least for a while.
