I have a DP721 and can't record baseball on my sports alternate channels, 444-453. I select a future game from the guide, as I would select any other program to record. The timer fires as scheduled, appears normal [red record light is on], but when I play it back, all I get is the Dish logo. If I rewind the recording to the beginning, it shows 303 minutes and some odd seconds, [the 5 hour block plus 1 minute early and 3 minutes late, i.e. the default]. After about a minute, it says I have an hour or so left on the recording. In other words, the game itself gets skipped.
If I set a manual timer by pressing the record button during the game, it will record. Kind of tough to do if you're not at home though.
I am one of the lucky people with two sports channels, Fox North 436 and Comcast Chicago 429. My local team, the Milwaukee Brewers, is broadcast on the alternates. However, the Cubs and White Sox, which are on Comcast, will record just fine. I only have this problem when recording from the alternate channels.
The techs have no knowledge of this issue, but I asked one this morning to report this to the software department, assuming it was a software issue.
I also have a 508 and have no issues recording baseball on that receiver.
Has anyone else noticed this with the 721?
