Can't erase DVD-RW after using it in TiVo

"Marilee" <marilee.erickson@gmail.com> shaped the electrons to say:

And you're sure it is -RW and not -R?

Is this error message coming from the Humax, or from a PC?

If it is in the Humax, there have been reports of a corrupted burn
causing the unit to not re-use the disc. Putting it in a PC and
reburning something to it fixes it.
