Recorded playback

Recently purchased Vizio TV.   When I am watching a recorded program, pause it, turn off TV and come back later it is at the beginning.  It either is continue to play or just starting over.   I turn the receiver off so I don't see how it continues to play.

I do not feel this is Vizio issue.  The uverse receiver is what is playing back the recording, not the TV.

Thanks anyway.

Did you try rebooting the receiver and/or the DVR?

It is likely the U-verse receiver isn't turning off when you turn off the TV and it continues to play to the end.  Once you pause the show, exit to live TV and then turn off the TV and Rec'r.
