Since Monday evening my 622 is randomly rebooting. Is this a sign that the end is near?

Yes, it could be a short time or could go on for a while. But if you have dvr recordings you want to keep, I'd get an EHD and leave them on it.

Your power supply is failing or your stb has thermal damage. Get ready for a 722

I figured as much and backed up the media I wanted to keep.

The last few days it has been fine. I may have to start a bet board on when it's going to finally die.

give it a hard reset (unplug it for a few minutes). if its in a power strip, move plug to the wall. then, if it keeps doing it call dish to have it replaced.

i moved it to the wall. just don't want to leave it there. Dish is going to replace my STB. I would like to keep it on the UPS to protect it from lightning.

Others may have different advice but I have been told by more than one dish tech that receivers should be plugged directly into wall, no power strip. Granted a UPS is not a power strip but...

Well it's been almost two months since I had this problem and it's still working. No more random reboots. Go figure.
