Anyone have DISH TV and get stuck on this screen?

Posted on 12/17/2004 2:29:13 PM PST by streetrepair

I have Satellite Dish TV and my dog came and startled me, I hit a button, got this screen and can't get off of it. I tried calling customer support but the ETA is long, long, long.

Pressing the "0" to go BACK does NOTHING!!!

If anyone has seen this screen and knows how to get the TV back to normal, I'd be most appreciate for your suggestions.

Sorry for two vanities this close to one another -- I posted them in chat.

Thank you!

Sounds like you need to stay away from technology.

Looks like the "Dish Network" screen of death to me...

Good luck, if you give up, unplug it for a day and it will probably go back to a default start.

When technology breaks, unplug it, pour a beer, take a sip, plug it back in, then finish the beer.

This is the meaning of life...

Did you try turning it off and then back on again?

You have to go out and pee on the dish. Use care if you're on a ladder.

Unplug the box. Leave it off for 15 minutes, then try again.

Cats do keyboards. Yep they sure do. I was trying to leave feedback on Ebay and my cat jumped up on the keyboard and hit the enter button before I was finished. You can't undo feedback or do it again so I bet I had a really confused seller.

If you want a laugh, try my thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1302207/posts and then there is another on post #30 of that thread. It seems that last June another Freeper had the same problem also caused by his cat!
