This happened to me too, and last year it was the same. The way to solve it is to leave the box on all night when the clocks change. What happens is that the box comes on to start the recording and then the time adjusts itself and so it turns off again thinking the program is finished when in fact it has only been recording for less than 1 minute. Since it was less than 1 minute it will not show in the playlist. This issue has nothing to do with when you set it in the schedule etc. If you record a 2 hour program, you will get an hour of it.
Another way to solve it is to set your firmware update for 2:30am. Then the clock should update in advance of your recording starting? Not tried this myself yet.
When the clocks go forward you get an extra hour tagged on to your recording so it is not a problem.
