Certain channel shuts down my receiver

When flipping channels sometimes the channel I go to shuts down the receiver.  This seems to happen if the visual settings are drastically different (1080 to something less for example).  Tonight however nothing resets.  In the past, I've opened the little door in front of the receiver and clicked the orange button but nothing is happening and now I can't even turn on my TV.

Sounds like receiver may be going out. Try unplugging power for a minute to allow it to do a full power cycle. Clears memory unlike a regular reset. Guide data usually downloaded again within 24 hours from the satellite.

What model are your boxes?

Do others have the issue, or just this one?

Any other problems?
