So a recording kicked off last night. The audio wasn't include. So, I waited until the show was finished recording before trying anything. I flipped channels (which usually brings back the audio) and nothing. Turned off the receiver by pressing the power button on the remote. Nothing. Then I press and hold the Power button the receiver itself. It reboots and the a prompt comes up that says something to the effect of your hard drive is corrupt and everything must be deleted. I pressed ok to continue as that was my only option. It rebooted again, all the lights blinked and it came back up but the recordings were still there. The My Entertainment thing was grayed out. It was odd.
Scary 622 Issue, Hard Drive Corrupted

That is a bug in the current software. I agree that the message is scary but 622 owners should know that the current corruption problem is only on the entertainment programs. When your 622 deletes them all your recorded programs will still be there and won't be corrupt.

I had the same thing happen overnight and about crapped my pants. That could have been bad! But luckily all was there. Whew!
What do you mean by "entertainment programs?" OTA? My OTA recordings look fine but all say "recovered." Would such a bug erase my OTA recordings?
"My Entertainment?"
"My Entertainment?"
Crap! 622 HD Corrupted
Came home...turned on my 622 and it says "Your Hard Drive has been corrupted. All data will need to be erased...blah blah blah".
Then it says "Erase Hard Drive" or something similar and asks me to hit the button.
I came home to watch Jericho and thats the only thing I really cared about.
I rebooted the unit without hitting the button and went right into the DVR section while it was searching for the sats.
I'm a good 20 minutes into the program with no problems...has anyone seen this error as being bogus before?
I have a lot of TV watching to do before I turn it off and on again...

I think they carried that little "feature" over from the 522.
They just like to scare you and keep you on your toes once in a while.

I activated my new 622 yesterday(replacement for failed HDMI). Right after I ran the check switch, I got the "Hard Drive is corrupted message" on a brand new machine. I know its brand new because its a series J. My old one that I received in July was a series E receiver. It ended up resetting itself 4-5 times, and so far has worked flawlessly after activation(1 day). Kind of funny. I'm starting to think that Dish's engineering department is run by monkeys.....
Saw that on one of my 622 today. After reboot, the HD channel picture jerked for few seconds then became normal. I guess this is Dish way to delete the "TV Entertainment" contents. I guess it just like software update, it applies to group of boxes at a time......
Happened on one of my 622's yesterday as well. If I hadn't seen this thread, I would have been sweating bullets and cursing!
Same with me, one of the 622's had the message, the other did not. I find that strange
I had it on one of my 622's. I just figured my 622 thought the data was corrupted because both times it was OTA and they were both at full resolution and bit rate!
On all new 622's we are installing we are getting corrupted hard drive error messages when first booted up..
Other than that, they work fine

Corrupted Hard Disk
When I turned on 622 this morning, I received Error message (760) for "corrupted hard disk" and requested me to delete all recordings. Though I did hard boot and message was gone later, just wondering how it could happen and what to do if it happens again.

Same thing happened to me in WA state. "Currupted hard drive" message appeared. I hard-started and ONLY NCIS was damaged, it seems. The others appear to be okay. Dish Service replied with a "we are the leader in satellite technology" spiel. Wow! Their training sessiona must take place in smoke-filled rooms. However, is DIRECT any better?
