It goes away when it times out (if it times out). Are you using in IR blaster? If you look in the alt.dbs.echostar newsgroup and search on "info", you'll find a bunch of messages regarding the problem. Apparently DishNetwork changed something in their software that makes the receiver more susceptible to infrared noise. (Although when I e-mailed DishNetwork support directly, they denied there's any problem with their equipment or receiver software, pointing a finger instead at the IR blaster).
I solved the problem by completely covering the infrared sensor opening on the receiver with electrical tape. The only hitch is I have to remove the tape to use the DishNetwork remote, but it works fine otherwise with the ReplayTV IR blaster.
The other way to work around it is to change the code on the DishNetwork remote from 1 to 2. But then the ReplayTV IR blaster no longer functions with the receiver, so that's not an acceptable work around if you have ReplayTV.
The ideal fix would be to get ReplayTV to work with the DishNetwork receiver set to remote code 2.
