Last Saturday evening, 9/2, I set my 721 to record a college football game. The red recording light displayed on the front panel, and the recorded/recording list showed that the game was being recorded.
After an hour or so, I decided to start watching the game, so I pressed the PVR button on the remote, saw that the game was supposedly still being recorded (indicated by the red dot on the list of recorded/recording programs), selected the game, and selected Start Over. The 721 then showed the game in real time, not from the beginning. I tried several times to watch the game from the beginning, but was unsuccessful, so I decided to wait until the game was finished and then watch it from the beginning.
Hours later, after the game was finished, I pressed the PVR button, saw that the game was in the list of recorded programs, selected it, then selected Start Over.
A window popped up telling me that the program had not been recorded (even though it was in the list of recorded programs) and that I should delete it. I then noticed that the recorded length was 0.
My 721 has been working well for more than a year, so I wonder if the above problem was a one-time anomaly, or simply another example of Dish users doubling as beta testers of Dish's software.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
