ViP 622 dying?

786 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  IamtheEggman
my 622 has been a workhorse for ~2 years but it seemed to begin to act up last night -- within 3 hours, it

-- showed "signal lost" twice (when I was watching OTA programming -- not using the Dish signal at all);
-- lost video completely. the screen just goes blank. audio is fine. when it happens the receiver does not respond to the remote either.

each time I had to power cycle to bring it back to life...

does this mean I should now sign up for DHPP and have it replaced? :confused:

How many times has this happened? Was this just on OTA channels? I have noticed that the error recovery routines in Dish software, when it comes to losing the signal, especially the OTA signal, isn't very reliable. It seems to affect other functions as you describe. Unless I'm recording something I must have, I usually do a front panel reset when this happens. That seems to clear up the issues for me.
