Most everyone I know with a cable box of some sort has had a problem and it
was corrected by pulling the plug for a few minutes. Very common with
various models and brands, it seems. I bet pullin the plug and "rebooting" would have fixed the no signal
thing too then,,the dishes were fine,,never touched before,during or
after..I have no intention of rebooting this thing once a month,,that's
an inherant problem I do'nt want or deserve,,one more time within the
next 10 months and that's it,,it'll go back for refund or
replacement..You might want to at least check for any updates once in a while. I
believe pulling the plug and rebooting, actually then updates the
system with the latest update. Again, I dont have a DVR, but check your
messages, if any, to see if there is an update available once in
awhile. Take care,

I just looked at caller id/messages,,there were caller id #s logged
but no messages,,the caller id #s were older than the reboot,,dunno if
messages from DTV would erase automatically upon reboot or not..Good
idea checking messages tho,,I rarely do..
