    VIP722 in "Test Mode"

    Hello. I have had 5 or 6 Dish receivers in Test Mode. When I call A CSR to find out if there is a way to get it out of "test mode" I am told NO it needs to be RAed. Is this true? Can Test mode be reset or is it a foul up at dish when they do a referb? Thank you for your time. Monk.

    Stand by problems

    Is anyone having a problem with the receiver coming out of stand by? I get a black screen and nothing else. Resetting the receiver a couple of times fixes it. Just wondering if any other beta testers are getting this as well? Monkey
