722 connection problem

[jerryez]

Saturday morning, I turned on my 722 to find that I had no signal, but could still watch recorded shows. I rebooted the 722 several times and did a switch check several times without any signal rweturning. The switch check showed that I had 119 signal only, which is very few channels. Finally, I pulled the receiver out of the cabinet and disconnected the cables and reconnected them. The programs returned immediately. The receiver is now working perfectly. I have not moved the 722 or any other of my component in months. How can I lose the signal, when a cable is connected?

Might be a bad/loose connector or cable. Check to make sure everything is tight and the connector(s) are pushed all the way down on the cable.

Did you unplug the receiver when you moved it out? You may have done a hard reboot.

I unplugged the receiver every time I rebooted it.

Sounds like a poor connection. As you live in FL, I'm guessing it had something to do with corrosion.
