On my Hopper 3 when I hit the menu button it would show Prime Time Anytime and DVR icons. Now the DVR icon is gone. I can go to PTA and then stop a program I am watching and the DVR option will be on the screen then with other options. Where did the DVR icon go? I tried Upgrade software but no luck there either.
 
It was a recent software upgrade that removed the DVR. H301 turned the Hopper 3 into a non-DVR receiver.
Just kidding, of course, since DVR functionality obviously still works. However, that DVR icon did get removed from the main menu on all Hopper and Wally models, unfortunately.

Bha19; if you don't follow other threads. It feels weird, but I will copy and paste my own response from a different thread. (in case you are using a universal remote).

I am pretty confident Dish will bring dvr button back. Many subscribers use Harmony or other universal remotes. Watch the next update.
I will repeat myself. (Some clever member's suggeston.).

Press the equivalent button on remote for home/down/left. Now, 'sell all' is highlighted. Press select. DVR are listed.

And I will do the same.

 
Losing your DVR button must be very disconcerting.
 
FWIW, I posted on the Technicians Portal for you guys

I guess you guys weren't considering the many people that use Harmony remotes when that decision was made to remove the Tile from the Menu.
I've seen a LOT of posts on Satguys, et al by people who are upset about that one
