How do or did you get the temp figures for the 722 or it's hard drive? I'm having troubles with my 722 rebooting and this is the replacement one after the first one did the same thing. What are the odds of 2 remanufactured vip722's having the same reboot problem. This second one is actually...

I'm in rural(bush) Alaska with no local techs or installers, so this is a do it yourself installation as usual. Since I posted last, called a Dish retailer about 400 miles from here and they mailed me a couple new high def LNB's. Can tell there is going to be a problem getting the new skinny...
