Hopper - S208 Software Experiences/Bugs Discuss (Limited Release)

There is certain DISH content (primarily PPVs) that does expire but this seems to be more of a bug than a feature. If unsubscribing from a channel loses the ability to play content recorded from that channel by policy it should affect ALL recordings, not just external hard drive recordings played on a Hopper.

I would not be surprised to see that "feature" added in the future ... especially on DRM channels like the HBOs. Being able to record a few months and then keep playing it back is pretty much the core of HBO's movie schedule. Repetition.
