WOW, that's scary. I think the reason I don't have too many issues with my HWSs is because I keep fans on them and hardly use any features. I don't use My Favorites and My Folders. Also don't have the new CUI yet.

Mine worked fairly well when our HWS we on the actual national release S528 and S529 and .WOW, that's scary. I think the reason I don't have too many issues with my HWSs is because I keep fans on them and hardly use any features. I don't use My Favorites and My Folders. Also don't have the new CUI yet.
Only since the update to U203 and U204 have these major bugs appear.
So it's clearly software issues.

I've been getting this error and after calling the support line, they sent a tech out as they stated it was the signal. That was 4-2-2016. I told them it was a waste of time since it was checked twice by the installers that had to come out twice when I got the hopper 3 (been with dish since 1998 and done most of my installs and I have a sat signal meter also). On 4-2-2016 the signal was tested the highest the tech has seen. Nothing was wrong. Still getting errors so I called and they wanted to send another tech out. This was 4-5-2016. SO they said they needed to send a replacement hopper. They don't know what they are doing.
Not worth paying for this service when I loose my recordings. If they could be downloaded later from their servers, I would deal, but most I can't.

That is pathetic. They know it isn't the hardware. Sending out techs and replacement receivers is such a stupid waste.
They are strictly reading from a script, if they deviate from the script they get in trouble. Very little creativity at Dish repair.
I know they do. So engineering rather waste money like that instead of having to admit it's a software problem?
How many of you that are having corrupt recordings are using the 4 window mutil channel sports bar mode? I have only had one recording that was corrupt so far. I also have only tried the sports bar mode maybe twice since it came out. I do not know if the bad recording was being recorded at the same time that I was using the sports bar mode but might be something.
I only tried it out the first day and then shut it off. It will only be something I use during fball, if I use it at all.
I have never used the 4 window multi channel sports bar mode and yet I am getting corrupted recordings. I don't think it's related to using the sports bar mode.

Agreed. I used the sports bar mode last night for the Wisconsin primary coverage. Neither of the two recording made since are corrupted.
According to a rep at the Mothership U309 is available for download. Let's see what problems it cures and what problems it creates! Receiver must be turned off to receive it.
Don't ya love that...... We took 4 days off to head to the island and BAM, Fish (ok, a little slip there....) Dish pushes an update.
Same thing happens with the phone updates...
Well, that's what she said. I was instructed to turn of the H3 and wait 30 minutes for the download to happen (I went to bed). This morning I'm still at U308. May its in queue for tonight's download, maybe its not, maybe its vaporware... time may tell.
