    Dish OTA Module

    I'll give it a try. The atmospheric conditions your referring to will also cause distant signals to interfere with locals. Perhaps this is the reason for the problem.

    Dish OTA Module

    Thanks for your input. To provide more details I have a fringe antenna mounted in a 3rd floor attic and have an inline amp which is used to distribute antenna signals to 2- 722K and a Mits HDTV. My home is about 34 miles from the local area antenna farm, which includes the transmitters for 9...

    Both physical channels are in the UHF band - 16 & 29.

    VIP722 SW Release L685

    I have two 722Ks. One has 685 and one has 683. EPG is different on the 685. More columns showing a longer time range.

    Dish OTA Module

    Actually, after just doing a recheck I find these two stations pretty stable this evening. There may be a possibility that I was experiencing co-channel interference. It's much harder to see what is going on with digital stations. It still doesn't explain why the Mits HDTV wasn't affected.

    But in my situation, everything was perfect until just a few days ago when this wild signal strength variation started on both of my 722Ks. There was no change in antenna position or change in transmitter frequency.

    Can any of the Dirt people here explain why my Mits HDTV does not have the same signal loss condition as my two 722Ks?

    Dish OTA Module

    I've had my antenna at the same location for 15 years for both mostly good analog and excellent digital reception. This problem started just a few days ago. I suppose atmospheric conditions could also cause a problem due to distant stations interfering with locals.

    Dish OTA Module

    I guess this is a possibility as I had multipath on analog before the switchover but not at the frequencies of these channels. Matter of fact, I had severe multipath on an analog channel making it almost unwatchable. After the switch to digital, this station reverted back to the same frequency...

    Dish OTA Module

    I don't think lack of signal strength is the problem. I have a high gain antenna and amp plus all other channels from the same antenna farm are fine. This same condition occurred several years ago with another local and all of the sudden the problem cleared without changing anything on my end...

    Dish OTA Module

    I have a problem with two of my OTA local channels and wondering if anyone else has experienced this condition. These channels have wide signal strength variations ranging from 75-85 to loss of signal within a few seconds. I have 2 VIP722k receivers with the optional OTA modules and both have...

    Problem with Dish Remote Access

    Thanks for your insight on the connection between Dish and Sling. Since I posted the original piece, I have had additional conversations with both a Sling CSR and a Dish CSR manager. Neither was able to restore the ability to watch trailers on dish6.sling but were able to shed some light on the...

    Problem with Dish Remote Access

    Matthew, Maybe you could shed some light on exactly what function Dish plays in providing net access to 722k receivers via Sling. For months I've been able use my Mac to go to dish6.sling.com to read movie synopsis, watch trailers, and set timers. Last week my ability to watch trailers went...

    Problem with Dish Remote Access

    I've been using dish6.sling.com for some time on my Mac computer without any problems to program recordings on my 722k. In the past few days I've not been able to preview any trailers and today there are no listed movies when set to Today and HD Content Only. Luckily I can still program the...
