Tom, I'm going to paste in something I just wrote to someone on DBS Talk... I do not have the constant rebooting issues, and all is "normal" with my 922 after software upgrade to S116, although it still has its many GUI issues, and lack of BBMP, which are evidently of lower-rank importance to the engineers than what S116 brought forth.
I think you need to present more information about your set-up. Please fully explain the basics of your set-up regarding the 922:
- where it is placed (ie. closed cabinet, open air)
Open Air
- how it is connected to AC power (directly in 3-prong grounded socket? through some kind of AC surge protector?)
directly in 3 prong grounded socket
- how it is connected to TV1 (HDMI cable, RCA cables)
HDMI Cables
- how it is connected to internet & speed of internet
Cat 5 to my router. 6 Mbps up and 10 Mbps down
- what version of software is showing (hit menu twice)
S116 XACB
- what update time is set? does it update?
3 am
- what are the temperature readings? (Settings > Diagnostics > page down almost to bottom)
avg 114 f I watched this the first few months of ownership and it has remained constant for the last 1-1/2.
- do you do soft red-button resets when you have problems?
Thats the first thing I do
- do you do hard disconnect AC power resets when you have problems?
The second thing I do
- have you tried temporarily connecting the 922 to another AC power section of the home with a long heavy-duty 3-prong extension cord?
No, the reason is this just started ..........no problems till now
- have you considered having the power quality tested at the location where you have the 922 plugged-in. Your AC power supplier may be
convinced to help you test this if you explain your situation of multiple sophisticated electronic hardware failures. Otherwise, a good electrician with a fancy power quality tester.
No at this point I don't feel power is the problem, if it was I would be having either the amp or TV acting up also
Answering these may help myself or someone else to give you better feedback than just flying blind. As you can maybe tell, I am prone lately to think that there are many instances of replacing a 922 multiple times - but the odds are really fairly unlikely to receive so many bad 922's in a row. That's when would start looking at what is wrong with the external power and other connections.
I have never had this 922 replaced it was put into service on April 13, 2010

I would add one other thing... if you have any other hardware or software running with the 922, please state what it is. Anything that is unusual or extra.
