Why does this message on dish network come up with a black screen every morning, saying "Press Select to continue" below the logo? I'm just curious.

Yes, I wonder, too. It's only the new receivers that seem to do it or their new high definition satellite. Guess you could E-Mail Dish Network. www.dishnetwork.com. Have you bill ready in case they need that kind of info to create a screen name and password.

it goes into a stand by mode, to save electric. If you go into your menu, you can turn this feature off.
