Recording goes missing

[cncace]

This evening I was watching my recorded show ( Jeopardy) when I got home from work. It was just starting , and then I noticed that my screen went blank for a moment, then I see the "Dish Hopper starting up" message. Once the cycle was complete, I went in to my recordings to continue watching Jeopardy, and the recording was gone. I looked through everything and couldn't find today's recording. There was another recording that was missing, also.

Can the software actually delete a recording? I have never seen this before, hence the reason for the post. Running Hopper with Sling and Joey 2.0.

I have never seen or heard of it! I have seen something that was recorded, and I live alone did not set it to record it. Maybe a ghost

Yes, since you can tell it to delete a recording. But it sounds like it crashed and rebooted while you were watching. That is never a good sign.

Go find the Trash and see if it disappeared into there.

Strange things do happen, hopefully that is a one time thing. By posting all the quirks we see gives the Dish Support some insights.

I have a Hopper 3 with Sling. Last week the FBI shows on CBS were not captured in Prime Time Anytime. First time I noticed anything like that. This week was good. I also record network shows that interest to me because sometimes it takes me more than a week to get to them. In that incident, I noticed one other strange thing. When I deleted the FBI episodes, they were not retained in the Trash tab.

One possibility. On occasion, my wife has fat fingered the button on the remote to record while looking thought the Guide.
