Sling Adapter: "Satellite signal lost" - What's going on?

[sofakng]

I'm trying to use my new Sling adapter with my VIP 722K. It worked for about a day but now I'm having trouble.

When I start the Dish Remote Access (DRA) application for the iPhone and try to watch a program it goes through the normal startup process... (ie. "Starting <receiver>..., Configuring <receiver>...")

...but then it says "Satellite signal lost" and I hear a hissing sound from the iPhone speaker.

I've tried unplugging the Sling adapter and the power from the receiver itself, etc.

The strange thing is that my TV works fine so the satellite signal is definitely lost. (it also displays this message if I try to play a DVR program on my iPhone)

Is your tv2 in your house working fine? Reason I ask is because it uses that tuner for the sling output.

Well, I don't use a TV2 so I can't easily check...

You don't need to in order to use Tuner 2. Hit the swap button and see if you have a problem with either tuner.
