OP is probably using the 211 to two tv's (it can be done, but both tv's watch the same program). It sounds either like the connection is slightly loose or a bug in the software.
When you say "no picture" do you mean a solid black screen or do you mean "snowy picture"?
If its a solid black screen, try disconnecting the wire coming out of the TV 2 out port of the 222 and see if the condition changes to snow. Report your findings here.

Did you guys unhook the TV 2 output from the back of the receiver to see if the condition changes. A black screen usually indicates a signal coming from a source. We can identify if the black screen is originating from the receiver by disconnecting the TV 2 wire. If the black screen remains, then it is possible some other source is providing the black screen.
Its not a modulator problems since a reboot fixes it and he stated that he had sound just no picture... its either a faulty receiver or a software problem
I am having the same problem. The picture will first freeze on the 222 and then when I change the channel to try and get it back the screen goes black and only get audio on both televisions.
A reboot solves the problem but have to do this almost daily now.
Guess I will be calling dish to try and get a replacement. Only had this for a few months.

Yep, new receiver. Seems the 222 has been having some stability issues from some of the feedback I've been seeing here.
Front panel reset is the common fix.. however.. are you leaving both tunners off when they are not in use? if you leave them on all the time they can have issues.. specially the 222. Dish has a list of rthe "known receiver issues" and i think that was one of them with this particular receiver.
Yes, both tuners are usually left "on" when not in use. We normally just turn off the tv's. How does one get access to this "known receiver issue" list? I will try shutting off the tuners to see if it effects this problem. At least it is happening frequently to do some testing. The Dish tech support persons seem to have no clue about this problem and one of them escalated the issue to her next level. They are going to dispatch a service rep to look at my setup. It sure sounds like a firmware issue.
