Step 3. Select the video files that you want to restore. Click "Recover" to save them to another secure location on your PC or external storage device.

If you saved the lost Dish DVR recordings on an external hard drive, you could try to restore the deleted recordings from DVR hard drive. Beyond 48 hours, Dish will empty the "Trash".

In this regard, start your DVR data recovery as soon as possible once you lost the recordings:

  • Press the DVR button on the old box or the remote control.
  • Select "Trash" and locate the tapes that you want to restore.
  • Press the Recall button.
  • Your deleted recordings will be back there, and you can continue watching them in "Recordings".

Note that EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard may not be able to preview the unique DVR recordings formats, don't worry. All you need is to save the restored video files on your computer. You can watch these recordings on your computer with a specialized Dish DVR viewer or player.

If you prefer to watch them on TV, transfer the files to your DVR external hard drive and plug them into the DVR box. There you can play recordings on TV again.
