A couple of months ago I was given a new 722 because I was losing recordings (error code 4). When I got the replacement all seemed well until I went to transfer the oldest recordings to the EHD. I noticed that none of the ones selected registered in the amount selected area. They also wouldn't transfer over. When I tried to view them, I got the error code 4 again. Some of these I had either watched, or started to watch so I know it's not a signal issue as some suggest. When all was said and done, I had lost the last 35 recordings on the drive and had to delete them. I contacted Dish again as was told I must have gotten a replacement unit with a bad drive (highly unlikely, but I had them send another replacement). This time the new unit had a noisy fan that turned on even when the room temp was 68 and ran for hours before stopping. It even rattled now and then. So they are sending me another unit on Friday. In preparation for it, I decided to move my recordings to the EHD. I have 55 recordings and using about half the internal drive. This time I ran into the exact same issue and lost the last 22 recordings.
There is no way this is a hardware or signal issue. This has to be software related. I have been using my 722 in this configuration for over a 1 1/2 years with no problems and had never lost a recording before (been using the DRVs since they were introduced). In one of the updates they've done, they've introduced a bug that is corrupting the recordings or messing up their entries in the allocation table.
How many other 722 users are losing recordings that had never lost any before?
