Blinking Orange Light on Direct TV Mini Receiver

I have a DIRECTV (Mini) C51-500 in my bedroom that is all of the sudden saying "Mode Not Supported" and is blinking orange. I have reset it and tried all of the usual unplugging, restarting and trying different HDMI Ports, to no avail.

The only possible cause of this I can come up with is that I have no internet, but had borrowed a Mi-Fi and wanted to see if the signal was strong enough for TV. I connected it to my main TV with the DIRECTV HR44-500, but it wasn't strong enough to stream, so I disconnected the Wi-Fi. i'm not sure if that messed something up or not on my bedroom tv, but if it did, I can't figure out how to fix it.

Any help? Thoughts?

Unsupported mode means the tv is on the wrong input, however since the mini isn't "on" that can also cause that message since the tv can't see it. Reset the main genie not the mini.
