PIP does not show "ON" option

I have an HR44 receiver for several years.  Until the last several months, when I navigated to the PIP option, there was an "ON" choice and an "OFF" choice.  Now, when I navigate to that option, it only shows the "OFF" option along with all the choices (upper left, side by side, etc).  The ON choice is no longer there.  I am able to click on one of the view choices, but then the receiver freezes and I need to restart it.  Any idea how I can get  the "ON" option to start showing again?

Try a red button reset to see if that kicks through the issue. If that doesn't, you can try unplugging power for a couple minutes as clears the cached memory. Be aware that 2nd option, power cycle, will dump guide data that it has to acquire again from the satellite (plus download all the On Demand info if connected to internet).

With either option, that will cause any Clients (Mini Genie, RVU TV, Gemini) to be out of service until they are getting the info from the Genie (HR44) again. Dedicated receivers/HDDVRs will not be affected.
