    ViP 722K Rebooting when accessing guide

    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.

    ViP 722K Rebooting when accessing guide

    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...

    Dish is ultra aggressive to keep customers

    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.

    DISH and Sinclair extend contract talks (Update 8/25 Stations Removed)

    To me, it seems so - DISH went to the FCC and requested an emergency meeting. The Commission gave both sides 'til midnight to give their side of the story and there was to be a meeting with the Commission staff tomorrow... sure looks like Sinclair really didn't want to go to that meeting.

    DISH and Sinclair extend contract talks (Update 8/25 Stations Removed)

    Incidentally, WGXA (both their Fox 24 and ABC 16 signals) is back on... guide still shows removed, though.

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    I'm the same way. I even record shows, watch something else for a bit 'til I know I won't "catch up", then watch the show I recorded, skipping commercials and ending just after the scheduled time for the show to end.

    Weather Nation

    I've never been a fan of TWC... nor its forecasts. I use weather.gov. And the GR Level * suite of products for radar data, with an Allison House data feed, Iowa State as a backup. Then there are the direct observations of SKYWARN spotters when the weather isn't great... I feel like I'm covered.

    new Offers?

    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.

    new Offers?

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

    new Offers?

    I wish I could remove BB@H... never use it, don't need it. Paying $10/month for something I don't use.

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    It won't get that far. Not even for a second. I wish it would, I'd try those things. Just got off the phone with 'em, best they can do is try for the 20th to get a receiver here. That's frustrating. At best.

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    Yeah, I even removed the OTA module. And the Sling adapter. Still just gets to the "Starting up..." and reboots. If I leave it unplugged a while, it does the Warning 981 screen, downloads software, then goes back to "Starting up..." and keeps restarting (going black, then back to that...

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    30 hours now of constant rebooting. Oh, well, I guess a replacement might ship tomorrow or Tuesday, be here Friday or the following Wed. It's been an interesting weekend with no television... think I'll drop in the cable office in the morning just get something temporary (already have cable...

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    Right, that's what I saw, but it got beyond that, on to the Dish logo and "Starting up..." screen. Then, it restarted from there numerous times, and finally came back up and I was able to watch TV... for 27 minutes. Now it's stuck in a reboot loop, and eventually gets to this: It did that...

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    I missed that somewhere along the line... could be from not keeping up with it as much as I used to. Thanks for the heads up, I'll grab a drive, and if it manages to work for a while, I'll try to move a few things out to that.

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    Showing L756 on this one. When it started going nuts and rebooting every few minutes, I unplugged it, let it sit for about 20 minutes, then plugged it back in. It got the Warning 981 error and downloaded software. Then it went through the "Starting up..." screen numerous times, with the TV1...

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    The 722K got worse - rebooting every 5-6 minutes... and the 622 I have seems to not have a valid smart card. So, no television for us this week - hopefully the replacement 722K doesn't get delayed or it'll be after Christmas before it gets here. Bad time for this thing to go out, as The X...

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    If I cared enough to pay the activation fee, I would. But we've watched everything that's on the system - I only keep 'em around for backup in case there's absolutely nothing on.

    ViP 722K started rebooting

    Was there a software update that's buggy? I used to, but I don't keep up with software versions anymore.
