It did work but you have to remember to only delete from the Hopper so that one can be restored from the Trash folder. Then you'll have to keep them stored on different drives. Like you, I keep hoping they will fix the issue. I tried to report both on the phone and by written explanation given...

Even since using the Hopper, if I had Death Wish 1974 and Death Wish 2018 on the same drive, the icon would show a 2, but you could select and view either. Now, while the icon still shows a 2, only one is available to play. I copied both to the Hopper and then the opposite one was on top and...

Admittedly, I may be recalling a older receiver but I remember being able to record a segment while viewing. Twice recently, I have wanted to record a news conference that had just aired on live TV, no timer involved. I rewound to the beginning and pressed RECORD and would get notice that...

Due to the Tegna/DISH dispute, I lost all CBS programming from the second week of October until Feb 4th. I wanted to try to use the On Demand function to recover the episodes of interest but I blew it. I have HughesNet internet, so the only time I can 'afford to stream' is during their free...

For months I've been experiencing occasional interruptions when viewing CBS programs from PrimeTime. It goes from the program -- > solid bright yellow screen lasting many seconds or even a minute -- > blank gray screen -- > back to program in progress. It only happens on CBS and only...

I was confronted with this today when I became aware of the H&I (293) channel but couldn't find it in the listings. I placed two calls: First to option 3 for programming, then to option 4 for tech support. After a combined 45 minutes, both answers were the same: If I want the channel to appear...

Wow! That sounds like the switch arrangement I have for my ham station, two radios going to four antennas. Could you pare it down to just what it would take for two drives? Would there be any way to accomplish remote switching? Or at least, using longer cables, allow switching away from the...

I definitely appreciate the response even if I may be leaning toward not trusting DISH' utilization of the USB just yet. Not totally certain, though. Thank you!

My 2TB external is at 91%, the internal stays at about 85%. Plus, I'm considering switching to the Hopper 3, which means even more recording. More storage is a given. Last year, most of the stuff on the Hopper got overwritten while in the hospital due to recurring timers. Much as I hated losing...

Was talking to DISH today and neither she nor I could find the ubiquitous requirement for externally powered hard drives. My last one was nearly impossible to find. I've been keeping an internal drive and enclosure in my Amazon cart waiting for the inevitable. Now the DISH site shows a maximum...

Keep in mind that these should be group names only and not video files. At the point of finding this problem on both DVRs, I had recreated timers and transported previously saved movies via a DVR formatted hard drive. No new videos has been recorded. First receiver: I still have the unit but it...

I've had many 722k's, but only these last two have had the issue. Thanks

Back in December, DISH sent me a replacement 722k to replace my old one that had problems unrelated to this thread. After setup and several transfers from a HD to the replacement, I tried to use the Groups to organize. Every one of the fifty groups was populated with what appeared to be data...

First thing I checked.

Previously, with normal programming, I've noticed voices barely out of sync but nothing of this magnitude. It's unusual for the TV to be on during our conversations. This time, mine was muted. After his reactions to plays that hadn't happened yet for me, we started comparing the game clock display.
