Don't know whether to put this in the 4.49 thread or here, partly because I don't know for a fact whether my 622 has 4.49 or if it's connected at all, but...
My 622 did the multiple reboot thingie overnight earlier in the week but settled down after a while. Two nights ago, watching a prerecorded program, the picture FROZE about 3 minutes in. Box wouldn't respond to the remote although the front panel was lit (and in fact it was recording another show at the time). Had to do a hard reboot. When it came back I tried watching the same show, the picture froze at EXACTLY the same point, had to do the hard reboot again. I more or less gave up watching for the day: next night (last evening) I tried to watch a different program and it froze again (although at about 45 minutes in). Same deal, had to hard reboot. When it came back I got a hard disk error message and I couldn't access any DVR functions; when I hit the DVR button I got an error message to the effect that the function wasn't available. I called Tech Support and they're sending me another 622 as a swap (that's good anyway because my HDMI port is dead). But I have a bunch of stuff on the hard disk I'd like to watch and I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and found out how to correct it without changing receivers (maybe it's 4.49 related or there's some other fix)?
Sorry for the length of this post but I figured more info is better than less.
BTW: the Dish Tech couldn't have been more efficient. It almost makes me forget the lack of new HD (ALMOST
).
Thanks.
