View Full Version : Diagnostics on Receivers

I learned something last night about diagnostics on my 722k and 211k - schedule them at different times.

A tornado went through this area last night. The sirens went off a little after 3:00. Turned on one tv and the receiver was in diagnostics. Went to the other tv and it's receiver was in diagnostics. The only way I could find to get it back was a reboot which of course is not very timely. So now I have one set at 3:00 and one at 4:00.

As a side note the message on the 211k that says the hard drive diagnostics should last less than 10 minutes shouldn't necessarily be believed. A one TB drive takes a lot longer to diagnose.

Sage advice learned the hard way.
