    VIP612 DVR recordings after canceling

    I canceled my service. I still have recordings on the DVR. Doesn't look like I can access them now. I know in the past when I moved and didn't have a dish hooked up to the receiver I could still watch recordings, but since I canceled my service I can't access? Not a big deal, just some movies...

    VIP612 local channels

    I get all but the strongest local channel. I hook up the antenna directly to the TV and the signal strength is 100%, but going thru the dish receiver it won't pick it up. The receiver picks up other local channels that don't have as strong a signal. I've scanned a few times with no luck.
