Sorry if this has been previously posted. One of my HWSs just started acting up. When I press the DVR button the My Recordings screen opens up for about two seconds and then goes to live TV. My other HWS has no issue. Both HWSs are on S544 1/28/2017. I called DISH CSR and they said it is a known issue and awaiting a software update. Any body else having this issue?
 
There have been several reports stating the DVR issue and our Engineering department is actively working on it for a fix as soon as possible.

We can try to force the new UI as it is a different software to see if the same issue occurs.

Ha Ha, do you think that will fix the issue?

I don't know, but if it's a software problem then replacing the software should fix it, theoretically. I haven't seen any reports of this problem with the new UI.

Thanks Laila.

Thanks for the info. Do not force the update. I will wait and see for now.

How long has your Hopper 1 had this issue? The DVR is completely useless. Can't set any timers or view the recordings. Do you have another Hopper?

The problem just started today. I have another original hopper but I haven't checked that one yet.

Update: my other hopper doesn't have the problem. Of course that one has hardly any recordings.
