To whom it may concern,
You're likely either experiencing overheating or power cycling.
Put the receiver into a well circulated area, and let it cool down. If this does not alleviate your problem you will need a replacement box. Be sure to set up insurance for your account before you ask for a new box to be sent.

There are two possibilities. One, the receiver is too hot or too cold. If the receiver is over 140 degrees or under 41 degrees Fahrenheit it will do this. Make sure it is not too crowded, has room above and beneath (I had to set books under the corners of mine to prevent this issue) for air to circulate, and that there is not too much dust and debris blocking the air vents, or fan exhaust. Also make sure that the receiver is not too close to an air vent or heater that could be overheating it. The problem should be gone as soon as the unit comes to the right temperature zone.
Second, the unit may need to be replaced because a problem has occurred with its power. It could be a surge without a sufficient surge protector (not all power strips are surge protectors, and many surge protectors will continue to function after a surge and a reset.) or a fault within the unit. The only resolution is a new receiver, and all existing recordings are lost. Warning, a replacement receiver will be provided, but in the little itty bitty writing makes you responsible for a damaged receiver. They will test your receiver when it is sent back to them, and if it was a surge fault, or dust/debris accumulation inside the receiver they will charge you for the replacement, and a ViP 612 is about $199 (last I checked).

The problem you're having is known as power cycling and it can only be resolved by replacing the receiver. Unfortunately it depends on which model receiver you have.

SOURCE: Fan on Dish Network's VIP722k
Hello, this is Nick Franta with DISH Network Customer Support.
It is normal for the fan on the 722k receiver to run often to cool down the system. If the receiver is in an enclosed space that could cause the receiver to overheat which would make the fan run continuously.
If you have any further questions let us know.

Hello this is Nick Franta with DISH Network.
The DVR fan does typically runs most of the time the receiver is on (or recently turned off). Since the DVR controls the option of stopping live programming and skipping back it is always in use so the fan will continually run. If the sound continues non-stop for the next 48-72 hours we may want to send a replacement receiver for you. You can contact me at [email protected] if it does continue to be troublesome.

Hi piautewith the VIP622 receiver connecting to your DVD/VCR player you will need theinput/output jacks. To setup recordings to your VCR/DVD player, you will want torun from receiver output to VCR/DVD input and from VCR/DVD output to TV input. Thefan on the VIP622 receiver is just like the fan in a computer tower. Even ifthe receiver is off the fan will still run to keep unit the right temperature foryour DVR receiver.
