Ever since Dish Network upgraded my Dish 5000 software to 744, I have been experiencing frequent system freezes which require a hard reset (power cycle). At first I thought I was having hardware problems and that the software update was just a coincidence. I have just returned from the Dayton Hamvention where I met two other 5000 owners who are having exactly the same problem since the update. It looks like a bug in the 744 software. I called Dish Network today (5/20) and reported the problem and they are currently saying that I have a hardware problem (but seem willing to consider that it may be 744 if the problem continues). Are any other 5000 owners out there having problems? How about 5000 owners w/744 who are NOT having problems? Would anyone else like to comment?
