have you tried any of the option codes?
try this one turn off receiver with remote after light stops blinking press "option" then
32768 when light show stops turn on with remote and follow instructions

Complete Software Reset. WARNING This code resets your unit back to factory settings, you lose your settings, favorites, channels you've turned off etc... Obviously not one that you probably want to try but it erases the memory and you have to walk back through the setup stuff. Note that you don't have to call dish to get up again. But you do loose some settings

whats the SW ver in the diagnostic screen should be
receiver ver. 1.23
WEBTV CLIENT ver. 16917

and are you connected to both 110 and 119 sats

[elbruceo]
