Thanks RickDee that link is VERY helpful. Saves alot of time :)

Set your nightly update to a day time, that way you can cancell it if you have rentals you don't want to lose.It WILL NOT "erase" them without daily update.Remember they are NOT being erased they are hiding out in the DVR using up memory.Try my fix at post #13 on this thread.... Good Luck :eek:

Check out my post#13 do what it says if you don't have a xhdd try erasing a few recordings.This process has restored my "lost"rentals EVERY time.You may have to try it twice but please try.Who knows how long Dish will take to fix this and you lose memory every time it happens. Good Luck

I'm the one who told them about my rentals going missing 8 months ago.they thought I was nuts they told me nobody is having that problem(maybe I was the 1 st lol) they replaced my receiver.When I emptied my dvr onto my xhdd thats when I noticed the lost memory and started experimenting. Matt G...

krell, do you have an empty dvr? When I emptied my old dvr and refreshed online, did a hard reset all the missing rentals came back to the my rentals folder.Many were duplicats and triplicats.I don't know what the hell your going to do, short of getting a replacement receiver. :eek:

Did you try my cofusing fix? took 2 times today but had 2 rentals go missing last nite got them back and deleted them.I have no idea why it works but for me it has every time(at least 8x).It's really P'ing me off BAD!!! Dish has known about this for at least 8 months,why don't they fix it??

rentals in limbo anybody out there getting any help on this rental problem? I had 2 go missing last night AGAIN. Has to go through the process decribed in my earlier post TWICE before it restored them.I have to learn to erase rentals before I go to sleep.Or change the update time to the...

There is NO limit on the Xhdd.The problem with the Xhdd is duplicate programs will be recorded.The receiver dosen't look at the xhdd to see if you allready have an episode.Not a big deal though when you have 1 or 2 TB of space

You got it Shawn, That's the answer :D

HAHAHA , sorry for my lack of faith but 8 months ago I was a NUT now it's a "known" issue HAHAHA don't hold your breath!!! :rant:

Another big problem is it will only take 1 or 2 out of many rentals and you just don't notice it.You have to go to dish online and count to see how many your really missing.Like I said a REAL pain in the rear end.Whenever you delete something it will show up in history on the my recordings page.

If you get them back and you have doubles the system WILL reboot when you delete them.Single titles OK but doubles or triples, OMG!!! What a pain in the ass!!! Try my fix and good luck.Let me know if I can help, no sense in you pulling your hair out too LOL!!!!

DishNet sent a "new" receiver to fix the rental problem about 5 months ago.When I transfered all my recordings from DVR to XHDD I was missing about 10 HD hours on an empty DVR.That's when I went to dish online and noticed 20-25 rentals that were in limbo in the DVR.After a hard reset the rentals...

Stopping a download in process. BTW, to delete a rental that is still downloading unplug ethernet plug go to title in my rentals and it will give you the option to delete. Get rid of it and plug internet back.All gone. I don't think the "brains " at DishNet know that trick...

DOD rentals OK I've been dealing with this problem for 10 months I am an EXPERT.Your rentals are NOT being erased they are hiding in your dvr.Go to dish online and look at your DVR you will see all your missing rentals and they are using up memory.The only way I have been able to get them back...

Nice to see you also.I was paying too much attention to signal strength. My wife really noticed a better pic.on SD channrls. Before we added 72 most SD was on 110.Now most on 72.Was a little confused.But after watching TV 2 I noticed a MUCH better picture.Really all of this is moot because I can...

I have to thank all of you.You helped me to look at the picture quality more than signal meter. Sat 72.7 I'm now SURE has better picture than sat 110. Thanks again

BTW my wife noticed a better picture,I thought she was nuts ,I guess I'm the one who's nuts!!LOL

sd locals on 119. 110 has quite a bit of HD programming. most HD on 61.5 the rest on 72.7. HD locals are hiding behind 3 trees(on 129)

I am near Champ/Urbana. my hd locals are on 129(No LOS).So I don.t get HD locals..Stations are 60 mi away so OTA will be trickey and $$$$.3 trees blocking LOS to 129.My house looks like a billboard for dishnet (3 dishes)LOL.The installers here don't carry the 1000.4 just1000.2, Thats why the 3...

no programming problem. Just wondering why system chooses sat with lowest signal.

Sorry,I meant WA. This stuff has my head spinning!!!

Thanks I was worried about rain.CRAZY setup isn't it? Do you get a big delay when changing channels?
