I went to watch Person of Interest late last night and it wasn't coming up in my recordings. When I looked in the PTAT folder all I had were a few shows from ABC, the other networks did not have any shows listed from last night. My regular timers went off like normal, it's just the PTAT that got screwed up. Wednesday it recorded fine. Anyone else experience this?
Anyone have issues with PTAT last night?

You may have had a momentary loss of signal. There is a known PTAT bug where after a signal loss only ABC will be recorded
Last night I too did not get any of our PTAT recordings from any of the big 4 OR any of the timer recordings we have set during PTAT hours on the majors either. The only thing that recorded during our PTAT hours was a timer set for a channel that is not on the major 4 networks. Lost 6 programs due to this! Very frustrating............
Hmm, Is this serious or sarcasm? I have no idea. Didn't know about this. How can I find out?

I'm sure it was not sarcasm. Telling us your city would help us so we could check the most recent up link reports for channel - satellite moves that have caused PTAT problems in some markets...or you can check yourself....http://www.satelliteguys.us/forums/256-DISH-Uplink-Reports
The only issue I had was two of the 10pm programs I record from PTAT didn't appear in my recordings. I have series timers set up for all the shows I watch so that I don't have to go digging into the PTAT folders every time I want to watch something. The 8pm and 9pm shows worked fine. But around 10:30pm I noticed that Scandal and Do No Harm weren't showing up in my recordings. Although I could go into the daily schedule and it showed both of those programs as recording. I simply went into the PTAT folder and clicked save on each episode which made it appear in my recordings. I just can't figure out why it didn't appear there like it usually does. That's the first time that's happened that I know of.

Usually we have no issues with PTAT here in the Sacramento region either but last night we did. I appreciate your input, at least I know others in the neighboring area were not effected.
Okay...here I go again....on my family room hopper all my PTA channels are designated at PT in the guide. I also have series timers set for some of these and yet, none are recording. When I go to the red button, only the two tuners show, one as watching and the other as a non major network recording. This is the second night in a row this has happened. My other hopper is working as it should and all are recording that should be.
I performed a power reboot and when it came back up it now shows PTAT as recording. As happy as I am that this seemed to do the trick, I can't figure out what caused it in the first place. There were no software updates and was not effected by the sat migrate as suggested earlier. Only think I can think of outside of the Hopper beginning to fail is the nightly update may have become corrupted two nights ago.
Thanks for listening to my minor rant........
I spoke too soon.....CBS, NBC, and Fox are recording but not ABC nor is the series timer I have for ABC. Second hopper is fine.
