I have one and if it sits unhooked for 2-3 weeks it goes to sleep and I have to call Dish to zap it with a wake up call before it will work again. Has anyone else experienced this? There must be a cure as a TT forum member said his can sit for months without power and causes no problem.

Thanks DJ

I had to call them to zap it once before the season started but never since.

It is not the antenna but the receiver box. This happens to me when I let my 211K sit idle. It only takes a phone call and all is well.
