    Keep losing communication between the remote and receiver vip722

    My 411 also began doing a "delay". This began late last week. When changing channels, the screen goes black for 5-10 seconds before programming begins. There is also a delay when bringing up the program guide.

    DISH Bundles TV Service with ViaSat's Next-Gener?ation High-Speed Satellite Broadband

    ViP211 and multiple HDs?
