I have recordings my external hard drive attached to a hopper. I can view them fine on the hopper but on the joey some of them give me error 014 "This is a subscription channel which has not been purchased".
I had the same issue. The error when playing programs recorded on channels you don't subscribe was only fixed on the Hopper (and Hopper with sling). This was never fixed for the Joey's. I asked DIRT about this in February and they confirmed. So for me I have a ton of TCM I have recorded, but now have AT120 which doesn't have that channel. This is not an EHD problem as I transferred several movies to the Hopper and the Joey still can't watch the programs.
This bug would be nice to have fixed as well.
