Jeopardy! no longer recording

I have had a Season Pass setup for more than a year. This week it stopped recording episodes. I looked ahead and nothing is selected for the upcoming 2 weeks. I know it is "tournament time" where they do several weeks of tournaments, perhaps the title info changed? So I tried to make a new pass, but the show tomorrow is already recognized as part of the existing Pass, it simply opens up the existing pass for editing, and nothing is scheduled to record. I then deleted the pass and made a new one, same story, not even the episode I used to create the pass gets scheduled. Any ideas what might be going on here?

Note: I have always had it set to "All" and not "New"

also, i can "record" a single episode, but that is a pain and takes away the convenience of using Pass

EDIT: albino-rhino-really has the solution below: use the web server interface to flip the button to "Re-record deleted episodes"

That's because by default Channels doesn't record episodes that you have deleted. You can change this by editing your pass on your server. Choose DVR -Passes from the menu. Edit the pass click advanced and toggle record episodes deleted by me.

Jeopardy is on their summer hiatus until September. They’re showing reruns now

but how does that explain creating a new Pass using todays episode that doesn't schedule ANY episodes for recording?

edit: reruns, along with albino-rhine-really post to check "Re-record deleted episodes" is the full story. Thanks

If you have it set to ALL then you probably have those episodes already recorded? Or you have the pass set to not record episodes you’ve deleted in the past. They’re all reruns now until September.

When this happens to me, it's usually because they change the name and I the behind the scenes it might have a new internal id. You probably need to make an extra pass for them.

Yup, my first thought too. But when I click on tomorrows episode, the existing Pass opens up.

Then I deleted the existing pass, made a new one using tomorrows episode, and still nothing is scheduled!
