This was sent to me... have not tried it... for Re-Initializing the HDD on your Dishnet receiver
SELECT THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS (works with Dish 522 and some other
receivers)

1. Menu
2. 6
3. 3 (the Diagnostic screen should appear)
4. Info
5. Right button
6. Left button (screen filled with hexadecimal figures should
appear)
7. Play
8. Play
9. Recall (message saying that the hard drive will be
re-initialized)
Note: only try this as a last resort...

I'd be careful entering any of those backdoor commands. There are some out there that can reformat your hard drive among other things.
 
First time I remember seeing.....still a good find Don.
 
might be a good trick to have up your sleeve, if you hate your neighbors and know their remote code. :D
 
Has there been a thread here with other little goodies like this? Some of these things are pretty good to know as an installer. And I am quite sure that all these receivers have a few easter eggs built into them. Would be nice if there was somewhere that kept a updated list.
