Hey guys! New to the forum, but needed to join because this problem I'm having is driving me NUTS!!:mad:

I'll be watching the satellite feed when suddenly the picture will go blank. A minute or two later, the receiver shuts itself off, and then back on again. During the blank screen, I am not able to do anything (change channels, get the guide/menu, turn on/off the receiver, etc.).

When the receiver restarts itself, the process is similar to if I had unplugged it. The resolution lights cycle, and the TV screen indicates that my receiver is starting up. I have to go through the whole "guide acquisition" thing, and once that is complete, I can watch my DirecTV as normal. That is, until it does this again! This all started 9 months after self-install. At first it was rare, but lately has been getting more and more frequent. Has anybody else experienced this? I have the H20, with a HD off-air antenna attached. Thanks for any help!! Happy to be here! :hatsoff:
 
600 indeed. Piece of crap! :mad: Just called DirecTV and will be getting a replacement without any questions. Clearly they've been having big problems with this. Thanks for the help!
