Weird Visionsat problem

[Radioguy41]

I had a weird thing happen with my Visionsat IV200 today. On the front panel there are two Leds, the top is the red standby Led and the bottom is the orange remote use Led. The lower, orange, Led came on permanently and the channel indicator only showed a single zero no matter what channel/service I tuned to. The receiver worked fine except for the display issues. I turned the power switch on the back off and on and the problem went away. Has anyone seen this before?

I wouldn't worry too much. I've seen a lot of issues being cured by a simple power cycle. These boxes are basically pretty cheaply built , unshielded devices. It doesn't take much to create some sort of digital fault, if it's left turned on for a period of time. Probably the miracle is that they work as well as they do !

I've had that happen to mine twice and a reset fixed it both times.

It has happened to my Visionsat as well, and when it happens, a rear-switch reset always fixes the issue. No idea what causes it...
