Receivers in endless loop

What version of the ViP211 software are you running? Mine is L570 on the Eastern Arc (Dish 1000.4)
 
Yep. They all started working again this morning. I haven't received any word from Dish on the matter, but it seems that it was only 211's on Eastern Arc. Thanks for the input guys.
 
The same thing happened to my ViP211k (Eastern Arc) yesterday, but my sister's ViP211k (Western Arc) was working just fine.
Hmm, maybe it's a combination of 211, software update, and Eastern Arc.
Out of curiosity, are the other receivers that were affected by this problem all non-DVRs, or do you have a hard drive connected? That is another possible variable. My ViP211k is a non-DVR, and my sister has a hard drive connected to hers.
 
That seems to confirm my theory. I am guessing that the bad software caused the receivers to try to download the wrong program guide. In other words, the non-DVRs were trying to download the nine-day guide, and when they couldn't find a hard drive to store it, they rebooted. Meanwhile, other people with DVRs were reporting that they only had access to the two-day guide, and that problem seemed to get fixed at the same time as this one.
