It hasn't recorded in a couple of days now. Would the local here in MN have the data incorrect or is it the NBC data??

oh boy, you're screwed because they've aired new episodes the last couple of days. I don't know if the Mrs. told you but some episodes were prempted for war coverage. When they were finally shown, the 28 day rule probably kicked in and thought they were already watched.
As someone else pointed out here, (I think it was Trainman) for soap operas, it's better to set the SP for Record all including duplicates because they are rarely rerun.
Better pick up some flowers on the way home.....

Edit: I was right, it was Trainman.

He explains this better than I do...

Thanks! She's not too upset unless she misses a Friday show as she says they're the best :)

Only problem is, due to war-related pre-emptions, the shows that were originally supposed to be Friday shows won't be airing on Fridays for at least the next couple of weeks. You might not want to tell her that, though. :D

When All My Children started being pre-empted, I changed the SP to record all episodes with duplicates. Since soaps never repeat (except on soapnet), I may just leave it that way.

My show has been on all this week.

I also found this out...the hard way. Thursday and Friday last week were not recorded for Days of our Lives. Luckily she's not a complete junkie and we just changed the settings to record all incl. dups. I think she said the same thing...that there is rarely a rerun...
