HWS U203 Bug Reports

[Mary Lou Maloney]

Yes I did. I did it on both. Since then, I did a factory reset on both. After getting all of my settings to what I want, I noticed that the move of everything from HWS 1 to HWS 2 stopped. However, even stranger, I now have HWS 2 copying 1 recording to HSW 1 over and over again.

When you did a factory reset did all your recordings dssappear? Did the carbon I terface revert back to the previous guide/menu format?

I am on U204 as of 10:16am this morning.

I was just curious... did you try the hopper to hopper transfer and this is why you have the same problem? I wanted to see what it was about and thought it would give me a chance to hit "ok" before starting the transfer. I was wrong. Now it seems like it wont quit. I wake up in the morning and I don't know what recordings are going to be on each hopper. I wish I could just reset it back to factory with the new UI. I wonder if anybody else has done this mistake?

No, all of my recording remained. No, this just resets the settings of the current release to their default values.

However, yesterday I was upgraded to U204 and the original move recordings from HWS 1 to HWS 2 returned and I have not tried the Hopper to Hopper transfer. I don't seem to be losing any recordings, they are just not where I expect them to be.

Good about not loosing recordings. So the Carbom interface does not disappear either?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm tired of losing recordings when my HWS resets itself at 1 a.m. Tonight it shut down without warning, again, at 1:10 a.m. while I had TWO recordings going. The frustrating thing is that I don't know if this is just a beta thing with the U203 or if it's the same old problem as with the old interface.

Damn, I'm getting serious about either telling Dish to "hop" over here and remove this Hopper and give me a couple old dual-tuner DVRs. Either that or go back to DirecTV and start using the Geni again.

This is getting beyond frustrating and does not even address the choppy performance both the Hopper & Super Joey give me when rewinding or jumping back with either live TV or recorded material. They replaced my original HWS, which was doing much the same thing.

Does the Hopper really suck that bad or am I just having individual bad luck???

Why are you still on 203 is what I'm wondering.
Both my HWS have been on 204 for about a month now.

I have one on 203 and another on 204.

Seems like in a beta, that they would issue revisions more often. Been a month and still a lot of bugs. I doubt that they will release to the public in March.

They may be releasing many updates to the beta group. Users who downloaded it manually are not (necessarily) part of that group.

Then why are we wasting our time testing it.

Dish didn't make or ask anyone here to do that.
