Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

[tsduke]

I lost all my OTA locals after watching NCAA on CBS for quite awhile. Luckily, a reboot brought them all back. The receiver had been on about 4 1/2 hours when the OTA's were lost.

2 versions?

My version B with L401 did the same thing. Mine was just wounded, I got them back by doing a power cord reboot. Sounds like it killed yours.

What is version B?

What is version B?

Ending character in serial#. Presumably each character represents a newer series 622. For example mine is a G.

Same problem here. I've lost all the OTA channels twice tonight and had to do a reboot to get them back each time. Seems to happen randomly while changing channels between them.

When you say lost what do you mean? They disappeard from the guide and everything? Or you couldn't get them to lock?

Everything works except I lost all my OTA locals. It's as if the OTA tuner has been turned off inside the receiver. Tech help was no help, it's being returned. If anyone else has had this problem and fixed it help. I love everything else about the update. I have checked switch numerous times and deleted locals, rescanned rebooted, you name it. I don't know of anything else to do.

I just had the same thing happen with mine (L4.01). It won't even attempt to scan for channels. I have tried everything but a power cord reboot.

No signal on any OTA channel. All of them were still in the guide.

Same here.

I reported this too as well as the fact if you lock out the mpeg4 hd locals in the 6000 range and only use the channel map down to the lower numbers, you get no search results for either channel in the hd range. So you can not use channel map down mirrored channels without leaving the larger number versions of the same channels out of the lock out option. I see a problem with this. How many people want several channels in different ranges all cluttering up thier guides? And how will Dish eventully replace all sd channels with thier hd versions if they are mirrored to there lower sd channel numbers and the search features don't work? This needs to be addressed as it limits all search features with the mapdown channels. I consider this a major bug .

Just got home from work and errands. Glad someone else see's this as a problem. Got an email reply from dish that they recognise it and are working on it. It's pretty obvious to me that with any experience people aren't going to want to do searches this way!

Mine would only come back after the power cord reboot as well.

I saw this same thing this morning. the fix was a power cord reset.

sbturner-
Yesterday I also lost all my HD OTA locals. As you wrote, it's like the OTA turner was turned off. But they were back again when I turned on the receiver this morning. On some previous page of this thread I noticed that someone had done a check-switch and gotten them back with that.

What do you mean by "power cord reset"? I held the power button in for 5 seconds to force a reboot and got the OTA's back.

unplug the device (or turn off the UPS, etc).

Basically there are two kinds of resets. Soft reset - hold the power button, Hard reset - pull the power cord or filp off the surge protector/UPS.

 

[Larrykay]

Same story here. Loose my OTA channels screen goes completly black. Also none of the Sat. channels are on either.. Have to do a power button reset. then all come back. Deffintly a pain in the A**. Isn't technology great?

 

[Building]

No luck!

Mine would only come back after the power cord reboot as well.

I have no idea what version my receiver is, but unplugging did not fix my OTA CBS channel here in Ames, Iowa. Am I supposed to delete them and rescan again?

 

[Jeffro34tx]

I wish they would display the HD label next to local OTA channels as well. This would be most helpful in the DVR recordings list, so we could determine where all of the hard drive space has gone.

I am right there with ya! I really hope they incorporate this too.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Particularly since the 622 only can record OTA HD or digital channels. It doesn't pick up analog channels, so why not label all OTA channels HD. Dumb.

Hopefully they will fix it with the next release. But reading this thread, its amazing how much more stable this is than the fiasco we had with L3.63.
