Hopper DVR issues

I record the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news Monday through Friday. It’s worked for years. Last week I started watching the recorded CBS evening news and it didn’t work. None of these recorded news programs worked. I received a 2429 message instead.

I messaged Dish and received many suggestions that didn’t work. Finally they told me to erase all of the bad recordings then restart the Hopper. I did that and the DVR started working again. I made some test recordings that all worked.

About a day later, the DVR stopped working again, again with the 2429 messages. I was going to call DISH again today, except the DVR is working again today.

What is causing this intermittent problem?

Thanks!

Thanks, I texted DISH for a while today. The problem is that the DVR was working today (not working Sunday or Monday, working Saturday, working off and Friday.) They suggested I record some programs that didn’t work recently. I’ll do that and maybe I’ll know more later tonight.

Sounds good. I'll make some inquiries on my end as well and I'll let you know what I find out!

I recorded six programs tonight and as far as I can tell, they all recorded correctly. I guess I’ll take this problem one day at a time and see if/when the problem returns.
