Turns out, turning off the banner resolves the issue, at least for now... Menu, 8, 1, set Banner: to Off, then Save, you can access the guide again.

I'm guessing something changed in the guide data, probably by accident, but ongoing. When you hit the guide button on the remote, or try to access the guide via menus, the ViP 722K is rebooting. DISH says they're aware of the issue and engineers are reviewing... no ETR. My workaround, at...

I've been with DISH since 1998... never gotten... nor requested... a discount on programming. Every time I consider changing, I look around at the options, and they're all more expensive.

Back now.

I'm not sure where the uplink is at Cheyenne... current radar in the area:

Still have Macon, GA locals on 61.5... now ESPN is coming back. I'm thinking storm at the uplink.

ESPN went out, too... Code 11-12-14

Nothing, really - just the idea that I can't remove it on the web site, it might be "required." I haven't pursued it, obviously.

Every time I remove it on the web site, it reappears. I haven't been able to get rid of it.
