I have an owned H20. Last night it wouldn't turn on so I pushed reset. It went through the reset cycle and began working again after getting the initial satellite download. However it only worked for about 15 minutes and then I got "searching for satellite". I tried reset again, and it would cycle but always end up with the power led green but no video. I tried reset many, many times. The STB panel buttons were all non-responsive. I even unplugged it overnight, but this morning the same thing. I think the receiver is fried.
I called D* tech support, and after 30 minutes and three different levels, they could offer no additional help. They suggested an $80 service call which is a real inconvience for me. If I don't do the service call and trash the owned receiver, I can get an H21 at BB for $100. Would that then add another leased receiver charge to my monthly bill given that my present receiver is owned?
Any thoughts?
