Software Lockups in the 722 vL621

[gwangell]

The past two mornings my 722 has been locked up on the screensaver. I have had to do a reset to get it to restore. Has anyone else experienced this? I have also been experiencing the aspect ratio problems on TV2 which is restored with a switch from single to dual and back to single...but I have to do this everyday also. I have software L621. Does this seem to be a problem with this software release?

I've been experiencing nightly lockups on my 622, also with L621.

I didn't turn it on yesterday, but my 722 was locked up on the screen saver today.

Mine loses the satellite signal on a regular basis;every day or so. Anyone else seen that?

I've been getting the lockups ever since L621 was downloaded.

Here too. Especially when in the DVR screen I notice lockups. At least 5 a day. My wife thinks its since I began using the new groups feature it has happened.

I've seen it a couple of times since L621 on my 622. I do NOT use the new stuff yet.

what channel is your tv2 on?
do you have caller id feature enabled?

 

[gwangell]

My TV1 is on 62 and TV2 is on 22. Caller ID is not being used. I am also now experiencing problems with my DVR...when erasing programming the receiver will stop working for 15 - 30 seconds. This has all started since the upgrade to L621...I had absolutely no problems prior to that.

Stop using the new groups feature and see if your issue goes away.

oops.
I meant, what channel are the different tuners currently viewing. On my system, if I leave TV2 on an OTA, my receiver will sometimes stop operating if the OTA signal is lost.

Only have one receiver and have been using the groups for a long time. I will disable the groups and see if that helps. Whatever they did Friday night is what screwed my system up and it seems to be the upgrade to the new software. Thanks for the responses

FYI...Just talked to Dish Tech Support. Seems as though my software upgrade was done on 6/16 and my problems started on 6/17. They are getting progressively worse. I have noticed that when the groups feature is not being used, as "hrxtreme" suggested, the problems are not as severe. Dish is sending me a replacement receiver as they seem to think that the HDD may be going out. I think that the software upgrade is buggy...or maybe the upgrade did not load correctly due to a bad hard drive. I'll post back if the new receiver takes care of my problems. Thanks

So are these issues the reason why I can't have fun with groups yet?... Is dish pulling back on the rollout?
