Wife said she couldn't get any of her recorded shows to play. Checked it out and all of them had red dots next to them as if they were currently recording, which they weren't.
Did a menu reset. No help. Did a power cord reset and after what seemed like a long time, a screen came up saying the hard drive was being reformatted and she would lose all her recordings but retain her timers. That's exactly what happened. She still has the icons of her recorded show but no recordings to watch when selected.
We've only been back with Dish for a year and this particular receiver has already died and been replaced once. Guess the question is, is this one now fried? It seems to work ok right now but will it go out again soon and lose all her recordings again? This is just a regular hopper w/sling adapter. Haven't had any problems with our Hopper w/sling. I know nobody has a crystal ball but was this HD failure just a glitch or is it an indication of larger problems to come soon. Thanks
