Dish VIP211 - No picture anymore? Can anybody help?

[sofakng]

I have a VIP 211 that was unplugged for a while (but subscribed/on my account) and I just plugged it back in but it doesn't seem to output any video.

I've connected it with composite cables (just for testing), s-video, and HDMI but there is no display on two different TV sets.

When I plugged it in, the green LED on the unit went on, then off (after a bunch of seconds) and now it's on again. I've pressed the power button a few times but it doesn't do anything. The green LED just stays on and nothing happens.

I purchased this unit a while ago so I don't have any warranty or exchange...

Can anybody help me out or is this thing broken?

EDIT: If I pull the card out of the receiver and put it back in the receiver does seem to turn off/on again automatically... (at least the green LED turns off then back on again)

Did you try to unplug it, and plug it back in again? If you have, it does sound like the receiver has failed

yeah it sounds like it failed. I found an old 501 a couple months ago that did the exact same symptoms

You say no video, how about audio? You can sign up for the service plan on line then call about your issue. It covers purchased as well as leased equipment.
