So... my dish satellite receiver bit the dust...
is there a way to transfer my dvr recordings to the new receiver?

I did some searching to find out but didn't find out an answer. The tech who activated the new receiver said there wasn't a way to do this, but there's gotta be a way!

1. It depends on WHY it quit.
Don't take the tech's word for it; few of them are actually
electronic experts.

The receiver uses a HardDrive to store programs.
If that HD itself wasn't the problem, and didn't get
corrupted, you could theoretically
get an electronics pro to swap it into a working
receiver, and recover the data.

2. Thanks
All I know is my receiver kept 're-starting' over and over and over again. I have no idea if that is a hard drive issue or just a 'box' issue.

3. Well, in my experience, it's usually software issues.
The hardware is cheap, but the Operating Systems are worse.

Good luck!
