Lost all my saved programming

[mitchflorida]

When I turned on the screen, it said a hard disk error had been detected, and that the 522 would now "clean" its hard disk to fix it.


Okay, no big deal. I clicked okay button.


Afterward, my receiver showed I lost 80 hours of programming. Apparently, when Dish says they are going to clean my files, they really mean they are going to delete all of my programs without warning!


I called Dish support, they said sorry, have a nice day. They offered a new 522 receiver, but I doubt if it was a hardware glitch, more likely software or corrupted file program.


They say this rarely happens. Why me, may I ask , why me?

Initiation?

j/k that's strange but I believe there are a couple of other threads from people that have had the same thing happen to them.

Someone will hopefully chime in on this

IIRC, this happened to my 501 or maybe my old 7100. Never had a problem with it again.

Had this problem two days ago although I was not asked. Came home from work, thought I would watch some showes that I recorded a few days earlier. Everything was wiped clean. No recorded shows, no timers (had about 8 set) no PPV history. Everything was gone. The only good thing was that I had watched a couple PPV movies that were not phoned in yet so I guess I will not have to pay for them since it dosen't show that I watched any anymore.
