Ok, this doesn't happen every time, but it has about 5 or 6 of the last dozen attempts and the last two happened on Mon/Tue.
So there's the music playing and still image when the channel is not being used. Let's use 416 as an example. So I schedule a recording from the guide to record a game on the HD feed. The next day, when I go to view the recording, it's nothing but the music and still image, as if the game was never shown there. The first time this happened, I just assumed the guide was mistaken and the game was not really shown in HD that night.
BUT, on another occasion I was home during the recording. So I turn on the TV and see the still image. I press stop to stop the recording. I switch down to 416 SD, the game is there. Look at the guide. Still shows HD scheduled to broadcast. Switch up to 416 HD, boom, game in progress. Go back to the recording I stopped. Start playing and see nothing but the still image. The DVR has a hard time handling this particular type of recording. Try to FF x300 to see if anything ever showed up, the FF will hang in a few seconds. You have to press play, then FF again to get it going.
I'm convinced that what I need is an option to start the recording 1 minute LATE. I suspect if the DVR starts to record at or near the instance that Dish turns on the feed, things just start off out of wack. BUT, there is no option to delay a recording other than manually programming the start/stop times.
Any body else ever encounter this?
