I know it can be frustrating when you have saved movies and the receiver shuts down on you. If you have an HD DVR receiver, you can connect an External Hard Drive (EHD) to have extra copies of the movies you have saved. If you have any further DISH questions please PM me and I am happy to help you!

Wow!
Did you say you had six terra bites of info lost?
wow!

I often wonder about those huge storage disks...

just seems to be a good way to lose a lot at one time, to me.

I've got gigs of information stored, that I never get back to! lol

Might as well send it out to cloud storage, because I'll never go back and review most of it...

It the way of the future... lol yah yah yah... sure thing! NOT!



I've got boxes of old vhs tapes... I should probably get rid of... but that's a hard thing for me to do! lol and I even bought a dozen or so John Wayne vhs tapes a month or so, ago... took me a while to work through that batch...
But at a buck a pop from the local thrift store, they were great!

DVD's are 2 bucks, so I usually let them sit there for someone else.

They promised dvd's would last forever, but I haven't found them to be much more reliable, in actual practice, than the vhs tapes. They definitely are handier, though, in use, and to store... Getting to have boxes of them, too!

I dunno what it is, abt saving stuff! lol

Best

and tnx! I'll see if I can root out my copy of ez rider!

Data can be recovered from any hard drive installed in any device unless it has physical disk damage.
How bad you want those movies?
Search for recovery specialists.

I never have like sinking a lot of money in ANY technology- just because it goes bellly up in the wink of an eye-

just got back from replacing a TV after I bought one less than two weeks ago- the one before went 4 years then just went bad-

NOW I got this Westinghouse- recently got an amplified antenna and get about 25 free- though not all the greatest- stations in Jacksonville-

so NOW this stupid cutting edge 1080 HDMI input TV turns on- and to scan for channels- I had to go online for a 5 digit code! What a pain!, I thought right away, but I did it and put in the number and it worked fine-

for a little more than a week! Then it kept going back to "setup wizard" and then when I put in the code- it said it was the wrong code-

ended up taking it back- and looking at other sets- with NO WAY of knowing iof any or all of them would now require a code just to scan for channels-

Got a Curtis like the old one- bigger but same really BAD tinny sound
Don't need a code to scan, but you can't add or erase manually like before either- so it's not pulling in as many channels- including NBC- just a hassle and i'm stressed out now after wasting my day returning one set and buying another "hit or miss"

just real cheap junk I think-

I wanted a little bigger picture than the smallest, but they are SO bad now- I'm thinking "Why?"- Maybe shouda just replaced the other for $99- and much cheaper ythan 4 years ago- instead of 24" inches and $160- sure could use that money on something else.
