    VIP722 dead or dying? Please help. Keeps rebooting

    THANK YOU all so much! It worked, I got the Dish Home Protection Plan, waiting a few days, called about the dead vip722 and they sent me a refurb unit. All your help is much appreciated. Silly question...the new receiver looks physically identical but for some reason the colors look washed...

    VIP722 dead or dying? Please help. Keeps rebooting

    Excellent, thanks guys. I am relatively new to Dish and didn't know I could even get DHPP on a receiver I did not buy directly from them (i.e. off ebay). Is there a certain amount of time I have to wait before making a claim with DHPP, like a initial waiting period of some kind?

    VIP722 dead or dying? Please help. Keeps rebooting

    That's excellent! I assumed you had to buy directly for them and because mine was off eBay I was out of luck. Is it because it's less than one year old it's under warranty regardless of where you buy?

    VIP722 dead or dying? Please help. Keeps rebooting

    I bought it new off eBay I'm not leasing it from Dish. It is registered with them as my 3rd receiver though. It's 8 months old. Will they still replace it for $49 even though I own and not lease?

    VIP722 dead or dying? Please help. Keeps rebooting

    Hi guys, On Friday my VIP722 shut down, kept rebooting endlessly. I did some reading on here and decided to unplug it and leave it. In the morning (7 hours later) I plugged it back in and it booted up normal. It ran on saturday until about 5pm when it shut down and started the reboot cycle...

    Anyone else lose 118.7 Transponder 26 Channels?

    Ok, I will check the fittings first. Also, the middle LNB on my Dish 1000+ does the 118.7 and 119, correct? If it were an LNB problem would 119 be giving me problems as well?

    So if I've got a signal of 0 on 118.7 Transponder 26 then it's for sure a dish pointing issue?

    Anyone else lose 118.7 Transponder 26 Channels?

    Not caused by weather, these channels have not come in for over a month now and we've had very clear weather for most of that time. Ok, did some testing. Error is 002 Signal has been lost on Transponder 26 Satellite _____ (blank). That's what it says when try one of the channels on 118.7 26...

    Anyone else lose 118.7 Transponder 26 Channels?

    Thank you, I see it now. Looks like 118.7 Transponder 26 is only for ethnic channels of which I only have the Arabic. Does anybody have any channels on 118.7 Transponder 26 and can confirm that they are or are not working? I figure if somebody else has the same problem then it's not a dish...

    Anyone else lose 118.7 Transponder 26 Channels?

    Sorry, I'm new at this satellite stuff so maybe I don't get it. I checked the list and clicked on 118.7 and only see 1 line item. What am I checking the list for?

    Anyone else lose 118.7 Transponder 26 Channels?

    Thanks for the feedback. I just checked the EKB channel list quickly to see but can't seem to find any other (non-arabic) channels on 118.7 transponder 26 so I can test those for comparison. Does anybody know of another standard programming channel on 118.7 26? Or can I test 129 26 for...

    Anyone else lose 118.7 Transponder 26 Channels?

    None of my channels on 118.7 Transponder 26 work any more. They say the signal is lost. For example I have the Arabic package and all channels are on 118.7. Those on 26 don't work, everything else works fine. Anybody else having problems with 118.7 Transponder 26 channels? This has been...
