Ok, I have to say, I'm extremely upset right now. I turned on my TV and my 622 saidf it needed to delete all my content????!!!??

What good is a DVR if anytime something happens it feels the need to remove my content?

In the years that I used my ReplayTV or my Tivos I've NEVER had it tell me that it was going to arbitrarily delete all of my content off of my device. On top of that, there is no way to archive any of that content without buying a Dishplayer (and even then you can only store what it can hold).

I'm seriously considering dropping Dish all together at this point. I love my HD recording capabilities, but at this point after 10 years with Dish I'm so mad that I might actually switch back to cable.

I just lost 2 weeks of content (I've been travelling for work) and now I'm going to have to either wait for reruns, or download what I can off of the network websites or pay for shows on iTunes (not going to mention the 'illegal' options).

This happened to one of my 622's this morning as well.

Is there any way to get around having to delete all the recordings?

Well, I just went back and checked my 622. I don't know if it deleted anything but a number of my recordings are still there.

I checked last night's Lost and it's viewable (at least the first 1 minute), so I guess it was a false alarm.

That is not a good message to display to an end user, however.

I have heard this happen to other posters and all they did was do a cold re-boot and everything was fine. Moral is, if the 622 asks you to delete all content, ignore the message and do a re-boot.

I'm pretty sure at this point that the message is a direct result of data corruption on the VOD (Movies & More and TV Entertainment) partition of your hard drive, and NOT the user accessible DVR event storage partition. It's a bug that was introduced in L3.63 (although it didn't become apparent until L3.65), and should be fixed in the next software release.

Editing title of thread.

It happened to me as well this morning. Even if you select the Delete button (your only option other than reboot) it will reboot and your recorded programs are NOT deleted. It may have deleted something on the TV Entertainment partition but who cares about that!

That's good to know. I don't use the VOD stuff anyway.
