Title says it all. Hard drive crapped out after 5 days of use. A replacement is currently on its way.
Besides any units that were non-functioning out of the box, has anyone out there had a 921 break on them as quickly as I did?
Hardly. Some had it break within the first day.
On the other hand both mine work fine. Yes there are serious software bugs, but still I record Everything I watch and view it later and still have only have 3 recordings fail (all reported). All the rest recorded fine I record at least 5 hour a day, usually HD, and often OTA HD. And yes simultaneous timers.
Critical Problem for those who need it
Closed captioning doesn't work on 720 broadcast
Current biggest bugs (my opinion) for most people.
The jitters (only some configurations and for most, some programs)
WIDE screen SD (aspect doesn't work, but goes away after a reboot)
ZERO or truncated recordings (I've had 2 zero and one truncated, and as mentioned reported directly to Dish)
Currently biggest gripe
Must subscribe to Locals for OTA info (I subscribe and so I don't care)
Currently most wanted features
Named based recordings (NBR), most of us thought it was promised
Multiple Default output settings (for me 480i/480p to 480p, 720p to 1080I, 1080I to 1080i. Others of cause want other variations)
