i have a sony nsx-40gt1 that i have been using for ota and the vip222k for dish. however, setting up the sony requires me to use the ota step and it changes the boot up process to drop into ota to start with. i can set it up to boot up with the dish but then i can't get ota. if i can get ota through the dish it might help me. i do have a rotor on the antenna and we are about 80 miles from lincoln, omaha and sioux city. charlie
