My 7100 HD is also is locked in the loading mode. The only way to get the receiver to boot up is to power off by the main switch for an extended period of time. As long as the unit is not turned off it will function ok. The only changes I had made were upgrading to the 020700 firmware and doing one auto scan. I have done Factory, channel and system defaults, I have reloaded 020600 firmware and I tried reloading an old channel list. Googling this shows me I am not alone with this problem. Does anyone know of a fix? Can these units be Jtagged like the Pansats? Sending this back to Germany with two way shipping cost of over a $100. is out for now.
Thank You
