    622 OTA bug

    I had a similar issue. It was diagnosed by AHDTS as a guide conflict. Running check-switch, and backing out when it completed, forced a new guide download, which resolved the issue....may be the same thing.

    3.63 disables OTA during rain fades

    Another work-around I use: On the first error screen, power off the 622 using the remote. Immediately power the 622 back on using the remote, and follow by pressing the guide button. Select the OTA channel you want to view. Note: when you power back on, the error message will be there, but...

    Distant CBS HD anyone???

    Mine is still on, but so are all of my other SD DN's.

    Detroit HD Locals on DISH?

    They're identical, SAT vs OTA. Only advantage would be adding an additional network HD timer to your 622 by having the SAT HD locals.

    First timer questions

    On the new 1000+ antenna, my 129 signal is now 80-85, up from 60-65 on the regular 1000.

    Installed my 118.7 Dish 1000+ Today - GREAT Results! Comments/Feedback Welcome

    Yes, it's there. I misread your original post. I was looking for a pop up message. It must have something to do with some sort of misrecognition in the software. It doesn't seem to have any effect on operations, everything is working fine. Alvn--all of my connectors/cables outside were...

    Installed my 118.7 Dish 1000+ Today - GREAT Results! Comments/Feedback Welcome

    The 1000+ was installed today. The installer put them in order, 119/110/129/118. No messages on any of the receivers. Strong signals on all Sat's.

    First timer questions

    Depending on what DMA you are in, you want to be certain you can receive your local DT satellite, if they are available.

    Has anyone managed to see St Louis or Detroit LIL HD yet?

    Dish installed the 1000+ today (free upgrade). The St. Louis locals look the same from 118 as they do from OTA. All the guide data is populated for locals, for SD, HD, and OTA. Signal Strengths: 110 - 95+ 118 - 85-90 (I only checked Tp's 20 & 24 where the STL local DT's are) 119 - 95+ 129...

    Try putting your down feeds to your DPP44 in the same order as they come from the 1000+ 110/118/119/129 I believe 118 and 119 should be on consecutive ports on the DPP44. Mine is getting installed Monday morning. If the message comes up, I'll ask the installer what it means.

    Anyone else see improved stuttering?

    Try watching a live broadcast, such as a baseball game. Have a timer set to record the game, and begin watching in live mode when it starts. Anytime after 15 minutes in, hit pause, and leave it on pause for at least 10 minutes. When you resume play all kinds of fun things happen...stuttering...

    622 install

    I don't understand the difference. Dish cannot resolve the input issue over the phone, but a tech can do both at the same time. Check switch is completed prior to the initial activation. Considering it may cause some sort of initialization issue during the first time activation of your 622...

    622 install

    Check if you receive channel 9901. On the sys info and check switch screens of a 625 all it lists is the 300, 500, or superdish. You can have a 1000 in use, and it not be listed on your sys info page. You probably have a connection/cabling issue up at the dish, either by the LNB's or switch...

    Can Someone Answer This? (distant Network ?)

    Regarding ATL, it's difficult to say what they'll do. Once a distant is waived, and added to your account, it's usually not taken away, but if they remove ATL as a distant local system-wide, you may lose it. Other than getting an RV waiver, or "moving" to another address, the only way to get...
