My HR44 has never frozen up or rebooted on it's own. OK I lied it froze twice - read on.

Did I mention that the DTV limit for the coax is 125'? So, since 2014 the HR44 froze twice with 304' of poor coax.
Something is wrong with your home setup. My suggestion: Insist that DTV replace the dish and ALL coax and connectors with SWM rated equipment. Insist that they send out a DTV fully trained employee tech and not a vendor.
Why my test? I need 150' of coax with a portable dish at my daughters house and several CG's we like. I'm reasonably confident that with good coax all will be good at those locations.
