Dish network vip622 freezes and needs to be

What is your signal strenth, I know some people just throw these things in and don't bother to peak them out , then if you have a lot of wind they can be knocked off a little, also if yours is on a pole and they did not concrete it in as so many of them do, it can move. If your signal strenth is below 70% then that is the problem.

Mr Coster is right if it freezes its more than likely a grounding issues. Grounding can be anything connected to the rcvr. The dish/the electrical power/ or even the phone line.

The VIP622 has a freezing/rebooting issue. It is very unlikely that it is a signal issue. Could be a known grounding fault issue with the 622. There is an easy way to fix it if that is the case. Unplug the DVR, remove any of the coax cables in the back of the DVR, touch the center wire against the outside metal casing, then re-attach the cables.

Beyond that, you are just rebooting, and holding the power button for five seconds to do a reset a few times to see if it takes. If not, you may need a replacement DVR. It is even possible that you may go through a few before you get one that works reliably again.
