Whoops.<br /> <br /> Ok, now I&#039;ve offloaded the 5 SD shows to the EHD AND turned off PTAT (though it was empty as its a new DVR). And I still show 358 GB as missing.<br /> <br /> HOW??</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Any VoD? How new is this receiver? Have you had it powered for 48 hours?</div>

Yesterday immediately after installation, it showed 38% used...with no PTAT or recordings. So I&#039;m heading in the right direction, but I don&#039;t know what is using all that space.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s about 24 hours old. What does that mean?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">No clue about the space usage but Hopper needs about 48 hours to get everything sorted out. Maybe it&#039;ll go down by tomorrow.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">New bug(s) for me tonight - the Olympic &quot;app&quot; downloaded this evening, and when I went to my hopper, noticed the green power light was on, without the Hopper physically being on - was on the new screensaver. Turned it on - when going to playback from DVR, it froze once on black screen after selecting &quot;start over&quot;, and after a red button reset to bring it back, the second time going to DVR and selecting &quot;start over&quot; didn&#039;t have any effect at all, then after about 10 seconds, the DVR program switched in. Waiting to see if the nightly reset gets things back in line. Everything was great with this box for a while. These latest software updates are concerning me - lots of problems over the last few updates.<br /> <br /> Also, I like the functionality of the Olympic &quot;app&quot; but not putting it in the App menu is odd. I&#039;m fine with a shortcut, but if you&#039;re going to call it an app, then put it with the apps.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Another &quot;frozen in standby&quot; event last night.<br /> <br /> Getting old quickly. Looking forward to 218.<br /> <br /> FWIW, disconnecting the Sling Adapter made no difference, which seemed to help another user with this issue.</div>

Still, the number of problems over the last few releases compared to prior is really annoying.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Last night&#039;s PTAT was the first instance in the two weeks since upgrading where the recordings are hosed. They all look normal on the PTAT screen until you try to &#039;Start Over&#039; one and it won&#039;t play. All four networks, all shows....</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">We also had issues with playing PTAT recordings last night. On our Joey we hit Start Over and just a black screen. I tried a RBR on the hopper and same issue. I havent tried playing those same recordings this morning to see if it is successful after the nightly reset, but I am losing faith in this boxes ability to do the one thing its supposed to do. Who cares about these Apps (Olympic App included) if the recording / playback capabilities aren&#039;t reliable?<br /> <br /> Joey was still showing linked the whole time and live TV worked, just playback of PTAT was not working.</div>
