Had the same problem with DISH 722k. Found the data disk runs all the time the box is receiving electricity. I am searching for a switch to connect to turn off the power plugin I have behind the monitoring panel that was installed when I purchased a new TV and installed the DISH box. I want an on and off switch on the front of the monitoring panel in my overhead next to the TV. I still don't know why DISH designed such a box that would be on when you are not watching TV. I can wait the few minutes it takes to download the show information. If yours is overhead the driver, check you insulation on the coach in that area. I was suprised how little there was behind the panels and fiberglass form until I added several layers of ducting insulation to solve that problem.
