Excellent post!! Whenever you have a problem with either cable or a dish, unplug the box for 20 seconds and then wait for it to reboot. Most of the time it will fix the issue.
I once lost sound and thought for sure I had a major issue as I have an optical wire from the Directv box to our 5.1 channel receiver.
Didn't know which box was faulty.
A reboot to the Directv box and all was cured.
