Greetings,
I was using a FAP 750 GB external HDD with an HR20 for about 11 months and managed to accumulate over 100 hrs of HD programming. Recently the HR20 died and I called DirecTv. They promptly responded and sent a replacement HR21 which turned out to be a lemon too. Then they sent out a brand spanking new HR22-100 today.
I read several forums that talked about FAP's incompatibilities with HR21/22 so I went ahead and bought an Antec MX 1. After successfully swapping the drive from the FAP to Antec I pugged everything to the HR22 and was praying everything would work. Was really excited when I finally saw my old playlist with 50+ HD movies and eagerly tried to test one recording. The intermediate screen came up that says Resume/Start Over/ Delete/...etc and when I clicked on Resume or Play it took a few seconds and gave me a n Error saying "The access card has expired.(763)" with a more info button. When I clicked on that it said replace the access card with a new card you received in the mail or reset the receiver using the red button in the front or call their tech support and tell them about message number 763. Obviously there is nothing wrong with the access card since I just activated that a couple of hours ago and I'm able to watch every channel I get.
Does this mean that I'm pretty much doomed and have lost all of my recordings for good? Is there no other way to restore those files? It is crazy that they encode the access card information into the recording too.
