My Dvr 510 erased all my shows

[Jeff003]

I had 50 hours left on my harddrive and everything was gone when I cut it on.I had everything protected.When I went to the harddrive to play one of my saved shows it was blank and there is over 100 hours left.What happened?

You try a reset?

 

[mysticphaze69]

Most likely encoutered an error and cleaned the harddrive itself

That must be why they were offering the 510s for $29.00 this month.

I've had both 522 and 625 do it it is just part of the excellent DISH Notwerk software.

I've had a couple customers complain about the 510 doing that and one customer saying the same about a 625.

I had a 508 do that aswell and some of the stuff was protected to. I think it may have happened because of one item on the drive being on there for a long time and triggering a wipe.

I'd have to disagrea as this was the second most stable dvr beat only by the 508 wich was pretty much bullet proof.

TiVo I think is the most bullet proof of the DVRs. Even Directv's R15 has had Hard Drive problems. I've had to wipe a few of them to restore functionality but only DISH DVRs have wiped themselves leaving the customer with blank hard drives.

Then wouldnt you consider the dish dvr's to be superior if they are able to diagnose a problem that requires a wipe to correct as opposed to a tivo that requires human intervention to initiate the wipe to correct?

I never used tivo's so but with dish dvrs my experience was good though its now outdated as I havent seen the recent additions that came along in the last year and half.

How do I get a $29 510?
