When I set my DVR to record a show it doesn't. I go to Menu and see the scheduled timers and it says there is none and at the bottom of that screen it says "enable inactivity standby to sensure proper timer functionality"

- Thanks for the feedback. I called dish network and reported the problem. As always they are going to "check into it" We'll see...my dvr has been playing fine the last month now so until it messes up again I guess I will continue to use it. Thanks again for the comments!
-   I have a 510 receiver, and I have the same problem. Every week to 10 days, the schedule disappears. If I go to the Timers list, all the timers are there. I have to edit each timer (e.g., change a Once to a Weekly, save, then change it back to a Once) and it will reappear on the schedule and record. This is fine for another week or so. I called Dish Network and they said they were unaware of the problem and would have the engineering department look into it. I see online that others have the problem, so my suggestion is that you call Dish Network and report it. My guess is it's a software problem, and they'll only fix it if they get complaints.

I have never encountered this but if you have enabled the standby and it still does not work you will need a new receiver. The feature was to enable a screen saver so that televisions screens would not be etched if it were left on and you fell asleep. My suspicion is that the DVR hard drive is corrupt giving you this false message.
Thanks for using Fix Ya.

Hi I installed the older version of the pctv hd pro stick 801e. It worked fine, but I unplugged the stick when it was running and corrupted the software. I downloaded new software but it is asking for a product serial number that is on the sleeve. There was no number when I purchased the stick. They emailed me the key. Now a year later I am trying to figure out where or how to obtain a new key. It will not let me start the stick's software without the key. HELP PLEASE, Thank You Don

TV showed "Problem Detected" with a possible solution of unplugging my unit for 60 secs. and allowing it to reboot. I do this routinely (Once a mo), but did it again. This time it cleared ALL recorded items (including protected items) I had 43 hours available for recording. It also Cleared all scheduled timers, and now will not allow me to record if I try to use "Create A timer" or "Create a Scedule". Is my harddrive fried??
