I have a 721 with 3.22 software. I just noticed when powered off, the Dish logo with Press Select to Continue is on the screen. If I press select, the unit powers up. Is this normal?
Thanks

Techniqually the 721 and a lot of the newer dvr's do not power off, but go into standby mode. If they were to power off, dvr events would require the receiver to power back on or to not record at all (as the 5xx series do.)

It's just so you know receiver is in standby mode as apposed to not having a video problem.
Good thing about this: It presents a more consistent interface across models (big whoop.)
Bad thing about this: Some TVs, such as mine, will power themselves off after x minutes of no signal. But models with this "press select" feature, such as the 721 and ViP622, never stop sending a signal to the TV. So be careful and turn off your TV properly, or you may rack up quite a few hours on that bulb or tube.

It seems that all it does is give me 2 buttons to push to turn on the receiver, the select and the power button. Has anything changed otherwise? Did it used to power down altogether?
