This problem started with my 625 reciever last week and has happened for a few days since, with some days no problem. I press the remote, like always and the tv turns on, but nothing happens with the reciever. No lights at all. I try different things to get it running again - the green light will come on for a few minutes, then shut off, then maybe retry again. I hold the power button to reset it, but the same thing happens.
Next I will unplug it, let it set and try again. All this time, the receiver green light will come on for a while, then turn off. I will try this method over and over again, finally the green and amber light will come on and the signal will start appearing on the tv screen, either directly to the channel program or start downloading the satelite signals, then the picture resumes. Whatever I am doing to get the reciever downloading again, isn't consistant as I keep doing the same thing over and over, then suddenly it works.
It is working fine now after using that method earlier this morning, (took about 15 minutes) but once I turn it off for a few hours, I will no doubt have the problem again.
I am thinking the reciever needs to be replaced unless anyone has had a simialar problem and knows the fix - thinking of getting the insurance, then calling DISH service.
Thanks,
