Relatives have Dish at their cabin. Electricity to the house gets shut off when they leave (they're on solar, so want to eliminate all phantom draws). Problem is if they're gone for a few weeks the receivers lose their authorization.
Used to be really easy, you could enter the error code in the automated tech support and it'd automatically send a rehit. Have not been able to get that to work lately, it always transfers to a CSR. Then about half the time it's a chore to convince them that it needs a rehit (they usually want you to reset the receiver, wait for it to reacquire signal, etc).
Any way to still do this without talking to someone?
