622-Hard Drive Has Become Corrupted

[Ray S]

I had a message come up as soon as I turned on the 622. Its said basically "We apologize for the inconvenience but the information on the hard drive has become corrupted and must be deleted or the receiver will not operated correctly."

Those are not the exact words but I felt I had not choice but to click the select button. The 622 turned off (one green lite stayed on then went off). I hit the power button. After about a thirty second delay it tuned on and then searched for the satellite. All of the recorded material was intact. Has anyone ever had this happen before? What does it mean? Is the hard drive failing?

I've had the same message appear before (happened about 2 months ago), and I don't know what it was for. Nothing has changed on my hard drive since, as far as I can tell. No idea what happened.

Yup, just happened to me (also in NJ, if that means anything). And when the satellite was found and lined up, all was fine with the data.

Yet, about 6 months ago I got a similar message and then some of my recordings were lost--but not all. Nasty and unfathomable.

Would also appreciate some input on this.

Same happened to my 622 this morning - no corruption found after it rebooted.

Please use the search feature. This has been discussed many times before in other threads.

Navychop: thanks for the direction to search the general thread on the problem. I read them all through and have some modicum of comfort knowing that the problem is so usual. I am wondering if there is any plan or downloadable software to do away with the annoying message. Also I did lose some of my recorded shows, but not all--odd.
