DVR refuses to rewind or pause live TV or record

Did they work before? For example, I bought my son a Samsung TV and the remote had rewind, pause etc. on the remote but they did not work. This is because the smart TV did not record the live image to allow this feature as it did not have any built in hard drive and I had to add a memory stick or hard drive into the USB port on the TV to allow the rewind, record and pause to work.

Power cycle the DVR

no hard drive in the dct6200 it is not a digital video recorder (dvr)
it can do video on demand which kinda streams to you and can pause and rewind and such.... however, it will not pause live tv or record for later playback...

hope that clears some confusion

Change the hdd or remove it then connect it to PC and do for it format , it will work .

fktrejo,

When you try to use the DVR features, do you get an error message (024 or 311)? Have you unplugged your 625 receiver yet? If not, unplugged the receiver for about 10 seconds and plug back in. This will cause the receiver to reboot and acquire satellite signal. When the picture comes back on, try to pause. If it still doesn't work, we may need to replace the 625 receiver. I hope this helps.

Make sure that the software is correct. Should be P4.07
you can go into the DVR and replace the hard drive but I would suggest getting Dish Home Plan, Replace the receiver and then cancel the Home Plan. Talk to Dish Network and they will work with you.

Try unplugging the unit from the electrical outlet for about five minutes- much longer than required- and try it again. If this fails you will need a service technician to resolve the issue. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

Hi djn Collinswhen your DVR is not allowing you to pause or rewind live TV you will need tounplug the receiver for 10 seconds and allow the receiver to power back up and acquirethe signal. Then you will want to try the functions again and make sure theyare working fully.

id get some spliters and hook it up that way or call 888-553-1555 and up grade to a dvr where you can pause record and rewind live tv. or get the home media dvr where you can record 2 shows at one while watching a 3rd and record on the hmdvr and play that same show on up to 3 other tv's

i think this was a software issue, hopeffully its been resolved by now??
