Reboot RCA 2nd Generation????

[m5runner]

for most people, unplugging for a minute and plugging back in usually does the trick. if i am not mistaken those older receivers take like 12 hours to reboot by unplugging the IRD. if you know what you are doing you can open it up and short the huge capacitors out and maybe that would do it also. to be on the safe side, i would just unplug for a little while and see what happens
