ok, i did a search and i couldnt find what i was lookin for, so if this has been answered before, i am very sorry....just yell at me and it wont happen again

anyway, last night my Dish DVR 510 shut off by itself, so i turned it back on and when i tried to access my recorded shows, i got and error saying "error 024: data can't be accessed at this time." now, my question is, can i get the recorded info off of my DVR? or, is it gone forever?

note. i will try ANYTHING to get his info back, i have shows from over a year ago that i probably wont be able to record again....

I would try a hard reboot. Unplug the machine for about 30 sec. See if that works.

nope, that didnt work....

phew.....i unplugged it for alittle longer this time, (about 25 minutes) and it worked!! thank goodness, i was sooo scarred there for awhile. i guess now is the time to back-up all that info incase something bad happens again.

thanks.

I'm glad it worked for you again I was beginning to think your harddrive went bad.I have a 510 also.So far I have never had that problem.I've had mine about 6 months.

My first 501 did that - I found out that after I powered up, if I pressed a button on the remote before the start-up note went away, I would get the same error, and I would have to unplug for a long time, then reboot pressing the on/off button on the receiver. After about the 8th time it happened, I signed up for the dish warranty program. My replacement doesn't do that any more...
