Authorization problem at 7pm eastern tonight?

[r10fret]

Tonight I was watching tv and at exactly 7pm eastern to the exact second my receiver popped up an error 122 internal smartcard communications error and said press select to reset your receiver, I did nothing and 15 seconds later it went away by itself and programming was back on.

Any one else see this tonight or previously?

I was watching a model 322 at the time and it happened on the tv1 and tv2 outputs because I went back to what I was recording and it was on both outputs being recorded, did not have time to check my other boxes which I wasn't recording from at the time.

didn't happen to me tonight but i had that happen to me last week. the message popped up on me and went away rather quick. glad to know it is not just my receiver. mine was a VIP 722.

This was the error I got at exactly 7pm:

Errors & Troubleshooting : 122

Dish must have had a problem at their end and mixed up the smartcard number tied to my receiver for a few seconds. Very strange!

yea.. just a glitch, if it happens again just do a hard reset (unplug power for 10 secs, plug back in) 90% of the time it works all the time
