Better late than never?

I guess I have been "hit", but I am now in the habit of pulling the plug on my receiver whenever I am not using it. Would that have saved me from getting the "a serious error..." every 40 mins or so. I know its like closing the barn door after...., but for future reference. Thanks.

hehehe , thats exactly what i have been doing to , when ever the reciever gets turned off , i turn the power bar it's plugged into off as well. as long as it has power , even if it's turned off , there's always the possibility of dish or bev "screwing" with it . an example of this is when you take a update , it MUST be powered off .

Well its good to know, but I kind of wish I had been doing this before, so I wouldn't be scrambling to fix my problem. Also, thanks again for your help with my other question
