My 211k started doing this just a few days ago and it really pisses me off! It does it on every channel at the top and bottom of every hour.
And to really make matters worse, it's screwing up ALL my recordings and I record a LOT of stuff.
Most shows run over the hour or half hour by as little as 5 seconds, some as much as 3 or 4 minutes so these burps are happening during the closing of the shows where they usually sum up the show and lay out the details.
This is really pissing me off..
This, along with the AMC/IFC debacle and Dish's lame offer of free 'sports' for three months (KMA Dish, no sports in MY house!) is pushing me to just end this.
I didn't enter a contract, I pay month by month because I don't sign contracts with anyone.
I also can't stand the ONE HOUR it takes the thing every morning to do three or four disk checks download updates and re-find the satellites. ONE HOUR... Every single day.
That's one hour I can't watch or record anything. I set it for when I'm usually asleep but it still can't record anything during that one hour it's checking and rechecking the disk.
It's a 2tb disk that's about 75% full. I am assuming it is only checking 500gb at a time which would explain why it repeats it three or four times in a row.
I got this model tuner so I can use a drive dock, I can eject a full disk and pop a new blank disk in any time I want and keep stuff indefinitely. They support two 2tb disks now but originally they were a wimpy little 500gb..
But that's not what's pissing me off. The burping thing it does now, THAT is pissing me off...
Fix it Dish.
