VIP 722K inactivity timeout?

[ggw2000]

A long time ago I had seen people speak of their VIP units giving them warnings of shutdown for inactivity but have not seen anything
recently. I just bought a 722K a couple months ago to replace my dead 622. Every once in a while it pops up with a warning that it is
going to shut down because of inactivity. However there is activity as I am watching TV and have been for quite awhile (the same channel). Is there a way of fixing this situation? I looked through the menu options but nothing stood out that would seem to help.
Thanks, Gerry

ps: what happened to the technical questions sub forum here under dish?

Menu- 8 -4. That will take you to where you want to be to change your timeout timer.
The tech forum was merged to make things easier.

Thanks, will look at 8-4 when I get home tonight!

Inactivity means you have not touched the remote to view something or change channel over a period of time. Standard viewing would constitute inactivity.

"standard viewing would constitute inactivity" that's a good one! Especially after falling asleep in easy chair . 8-4 = update menu - now who would have figured that this is where you
change the setting. Really I would have thought maybe preferences or something along that line... Go figure!
