OK, this started last night and I'm not sure what's going on now.
As I was trying to watch TV, the picture would go out and the 'acquiring satellite' message would appear. Then the picture would come back, and then out again.
I went into the menu, and under diagnosis it said something about signal loss at 'some time here' and 1/3.
I thought it was just some temporary thing, so I just turned it off and went to bed. This morning, turned it back on and it's still doing it.
So I went into the living room, and turned on the 508. It appears to be working fine, no problems at all.
So go back into the bedroom, and turn the 301 off. Unplug it, and remove the card. (whenever the 508 has a problem this usually fixes it) The put the card back in, shut the little door, then I plugged it back in.
As soon as I plugged it in, the green power light comes on for about 3 seconds, and then shuts off. But now I can't turn the thing back on, it's not responsive at all. If I unplug it, and plug it back in. It does the same thing, the green light comes on for about 3 seconds.
Any ideas?
Also, not sure if this would cause any of the problems or not, but I just downgraded my programming from 180 to 60. I doubt that would have anything to do with it??
