Dish got sick of reading my rants about my 622 and the 4xx debacle, so they contacted me a while ago (see other thread). To make a long story short, they "next-day-air'd" me a new (not refurbished) 622 which I authorized last night.
Naturally I had to disconnect the old one in the process. My plan was to hook an S-Vid connection from it (the old one) to my dvd recorder and transfer the contents of the HDD. Of course I got the "acquiring signal" message since it's no longer hooked to the dish, so I just menu'd over to "My Recordings". Now I find a bunch of the recordings are now labeled as "locked events". Mind you I'm trying to work all this with the front panel buttons to avoid remote interference.
Anyway, why would this happen to some of my recordings and not others?
