Hello everyone,

After lurking around for almost a year I just went out and spent $839 for a now-obsoleted and bargain basemented 921!! Not that I'm bitter about owning it for SIX DAYS before the price was slashed or anything...

Anyway, the reason for this message is that almost everytime I bring the 921 out of standby it reports a lost connection to the satellites. Sometimes just waiting a few minutes brings them back, sometimes I have to go to the switch page and it eventually reconnects when bringing up that information, and other times I have to pull the power switch to get conncection back. Am I doing something wrong? I use an SW64 switch and when it works it works well, but...?

Lean on Dish Network to give you a DPP+44.

I had strange performance from my SW64 that went away after I made a switch change.

Until you get a new switch disconnect you legacy equipment, it helped my SW64 work better with my 921.

btw- even though the new switch supports legacy boxes, my 6000 still has issues with it....
