Thread: Help With Error

Hello,

I actually called dish on this and they told me to just wait for a few hours and then call back!?!?

When I turned on my TV I was greeted with a nice error message...

Warning 981

Does anyone know what I should do, or should I just wait a few more hours and call Dish back.

The Receiver is a VIP722k DVR

THANKS!!!!

make sure its not warm, try to plug it directly into the wall

If you've waited a couple of hours since you first called dish and the problem still exists, call dish and ask them what steps to follow next. I think you are probably fouled, but perhaps they can guide you through steps to get back in service.

Unplug the receiver and let it reset.. If problem still persist after a reset then a call to Dish is all that is left

Call DISH first don't unplug if you are downloading software.

If it's been locked for hours, unpluging is his only answer
