Dvr problem with dish network?

Question

I have Dish Network and had trouble DVR'g a hockey game! Help!?

I have Dish Network and I pay for the Center Ice NHL hockey package. I attempted to set timer on a game with the DVR. When I got home the DVR shows that it recorded 3 hours and 15 minutes of the game but there is nothing to play back. When I hit start it just jumps back to the main DVR screen and says its over. No matter what I do to try to play it jumps back and says playback complete.Anybody have any idea what went wrong or how I can correct the problem?

thanx

Answer 1

I've had problems with Dish's DVR too.  I have no idea how they can claim their DVR out-scored a Tivo since I've never had even 1/10th the problems with my old series 1 Tivo...

Anyways, sounds like you got a corrupt file (recording).  There's really nothing you can do about it other than to delete the recording.

You're lucky.  We had a corrupt recording that would actually crash the DVR - corrupting anything it was recording at the time!
