Corrupt hard drive? Don't delete!
ADVERTS 1
Earlier this evening when I turned on my 622 I got a message that my hard drive data was corrupted and that I would have to delete all data on the drive.
Whoa! Wait a minute... I've got lots of shows on there that I haven't seen yet. I wasn't going to just hit that big DELETE button. I rebooted the 622 and when it recovered it was working fine again. It even started recording the news... which it should have been recording before, but wasn't. Shows recorded earlier played back just fine, too.
Has anyone else seen this problem? It's really scary when you get that message! I hope it was just a software crash. I've had my 622 since February and except for a couple very minor problems it's been working great. I hope it's going to continue to work great.

Yep, I had this on one of 622s a couple weeks ago. There was no way I was going to hit the "ok" delete everything button, so I just simply rebooted and let the unit recover. Caution: makes sure you tell your significant other to reboot and not simply delete the contents.

Had this happen to me this morning. Did a reboot and all is fine. However two timers I had set up for this morning didn't fire.

I set up a 625 this morning and got that message right after it did it's original download. Just garbage software as usual from DISH.

I have had this problem twice in the last month. Each time I did a reboot and all was well afterwards.
I have not called Dish about this problem but I will if it happens again. Has anyone called Dish on this? If so, what was their advice?

happened last week.. did a front reset and mine is fine as well. But a bit of advice.. call dish and just have them note that it happened on your account so that if it becomes a reocurring issue the csr you are trying to convence to send you a new one will have evidence that its a problem. If you reboot it and it fixes it a tech support agent will not be able to tell you anything other than to try a reset or maybe a software update may resolve it in the future.

Glad to see that this is not a problem that's unique to my 622. Thanks for the responses.
I just hope this was a one-time occurance and I won't see it again. So far, my 622 has been very reliable and has had less problems than any other receiver or DVR I've owned, so I really can't complain.
