For a couple days now, I'm finding that when I turn on my 625 receiver, whether TV1 or TV2, it will be at Dish info channel 101 instead of the channel I was on when I turned it off? Any idea why this would be happening now?
Why is my tuner suddently at channel 101 when I turn it on?

Are you on a different guide list you made, one that does not include a channel below 101?
Otherwise, try a reboot.

One way that for sure makes this happen is if the channel that was being watched when the receiver was turned off is a free preview channel that you don't sub to.
That's probably it. I've been watching the free HBO a lot. It's available through today, but I guess the fact that I don't subscribe is what did it. Thanks.
My 722 does that when it records those Dish PPV ads in the wee hours of the morning, but that's not too often.
Also, if you have your box on an ota channel, and that signal drops, the box goes to channel 101. It has happened to me a few times while trying to watch distant ota channels with a weak/cutting out signal.
Charlie has possessed your receiver to always go back to 101 so you can remember how to change the batteries in the remote 
nah...you're lucky that when the charlie chat is on Charlie doesnt force the receiver to 101 so you can see those

Personally I would like to see Dish Network setup a timer on our DVRs for all Charlie Chats and TechForums.
Then we would not see any posts that say Darn! I missed it.
I dont think I have ever seen a post with someone upset they missed a Charlie Chat.Then we would not see any posts that say Darn! I missed it.
