    Dish Network vip622 MDU with Q-Box

    An update, sorry for the delay. The advice to disconnect the OTA antenna and clear the OTA memory has worked perfectly. I've been using my DVR for nearly a month now with no issues. Prior to this fix, it was not uncommon for the problem to occur multiple times per day. Hopefully this is a...
