Hi Dish,
The Hopper, when recording a program (ie, I have added the program as a series to record) is also part of PrimeTime Anytime, OFTEN (meaning more than half the time now) records the last three minutes of the show. Sometimes it records the next show, sometimes it does not.
So about 6 months ago or longer I complained about this bug on the Hopper. Forum admins contacted DISH and said they were working on a fix. I supplied a lot of examples. STILL NOT WORKING. Not heard any follow up.
New examples:
The Gone Show, ABC, recorded 8/31/2017 on KGO 007-00 10 - 11:00 PM
Almost EVERY episode of Grey's Anatomy, recorded on KGO 007-00 Thursdays 8 - 9:00 PM
The Orville, FOX, recorded 9/28/2017 on KTVU 002-00 9 - 10:00 PM
Several episodes of The Black List, FOX, recorded on KTVU 002-00, Wednesdays 8 - 9:00 PM
Not a problem if I catch it before PTAT expires, because I can see it there. But once PTAT expires, the proper recording is not being saved.
I am not catching up on a lot of series I have missed (why we have such a large HD drive after all) and can not believe the number of shows you have misrecorded. This is not useful. In order to catch up, I now have to have a Hulu subscription to see missing shows. If I have Hulu, why do I even need Dish now?
The problem occurs most on ABC recordings, but I have also seen it occur on CBS and FOX recordings as well.
Can we PLEASE get a fix. This is just one of many bugs in the Hopper 3 that are seriously reducing my desire to want to stay with Dish. IMO, I am not getting the service I pay for (and I pay a lot for the Hopper 3 DVR) so it is time to fix these bugs.
And still waiting on a fix for home media. I have a workaround, but it is annoying to use.
Thank you.
