DVR recordings are a gray screen

I have deleted different many of my recordings now every time I go to watch the recording I have saved they are a gray screen.

 

Is their anything I can do to get my recordings back?

First thing to try is resetting your DVR/Receiver using the red button behind the front panel access card door. See if that helps.

You cannot recover a recording which you intentionally (or accidentally) deleted.  The "gray recording" is a different issue and often indicates a bad connection to, or signal from, the dish on one tuner.
