I'm getting this popup on my 722 over the last few days on a number of channels. After the message pops up briefly, it goes away on it's own and all is normal. My 612 does not do this. What's going on here? I believe the channels involved are all coming off 72.7.

Edited to add: I see no problem with signal strength, and the receiver reports all is well, other than the annoying popup.

Do you know what the message says or the error number?

"Programming not authorized" error 005. It comes and goes very quickly, so it's sometimes difficult to read. When it's up, the channel can be a little pixellated as though the signal strength is inadequate.

I'm pretty sure that code means your left threaded signal straightener is dying. As you no doubt know, they aren't available any more, having been replaced by the interrupted screw waveform polisher in the Hopper, which is much faster to replace but isn't backward compatible.

Beverage?

:devilish:
 
"signal straightener", "screw waveform polisher"

Great! I'll bet it took a long time before he learned to get it all out without laughing.


And I need that Hopper TurboScope!

The other possibility is that the flux capacitor is out of alignment.
