My DVR says "no playback in progress"

[ninster]

um... I am not sure which model of DVR I have but when I go to my list of recorded shows and I press play I get a screen that says "Currently, there is no playback in progress. Press the List button to see your recordings. Press the channel button to change channels." I don't understand why my DVR wont allow me to play my recorded shows. Could it be that there is no more memory??? Thanks.

In that case, we can't help here in the Dish Network Forum. I don't know about any of the other brand DVR's.

Maybe this should be in the general Tech Support forum? (I'm gonna move it).

Valid question. I just thought I would put it someplace more general.
