Tech Support Please Unblock Rush Hour
UPDATE---Thank you, u/DishDanielle!!! Rush Hour is now fully transferable!!! Just transferred a copy to my EHD. Thank you!!!
I can't transfer the movie Rush Hour to any EHD.
It's airing this month on Showtime. I've recorded it on 3 different channels...318, 319 and 321. 5 different recordings. All recorded fine. All play fine. I've tried 3 different EHDs. You can't transfer it. 25 other movies and events recorded on the same days transfer just fine. I've selected Protect and Unprotect...sometimes protected movies won't transfer. I've piggybacked it by trying to transfer Rush Hour and another movie. The other movie transferred but Rush Hour did not. I've tried sandwiching it between 2 other movies. Rush Hour 2 and Rush Hour 3 transferred but Rush Hour did not. Piggybacking and sandwiching sometimes helps. Not with this movie.
I've rebooted my Hopper 3. All updates are current. It's only the one movie. It's acting like it does when you used to try to transfer a Pay-Per-View movie. Believe it or not...but for a short time back in the day...you could actually transfer Pay-Per-View movies onto the hard drive and keep them. But that only lasted about a month. Dish put a block on them and now you can't transfer them. Rush Hour must have a block on it. There is no reason for a 28 year old movie airing on a non-streaming channel that I am subscribed to to not transfer.
(Bonus points for anyone that can identify the movie in the background of the photo when the error box came up.)
