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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Anyone have any idea how long the $.99 offer will last?

I have no idea whether this is your problem or not, but I originally had a 622 that lasted about 2 years without major problems. Then the hard drive quit and Dish sent me a replacement, then another, then another. One of the replacements created problems similar to what you are experiencing. The...

Yes, I've occasionally have had this problem but not to the degree you are experiencing. Please post any additional info you might get from the tech visit.

Here's a series of emails between Dish and myself which I initiated 3/19: To: <care@customermail.dishnetwork.com> Subject: Re: Programming When watching Fox News HD and you are running Dish commercials during a station break, the length of the commercials is longer than the slug provided by Fox...

[/B] You must have a 10 inch screen or you would not be saying that. Anyone who says they would rather watch SD over the "mirrored" HD Channel is either blind or has a small screen Television, I love The Fox News Channel in HD and it is a very good HD channel in comparison to its...

I've been watching Fox HD news since Fox made it available to the highest tier, and I want to let everyone know who thinks they can't live without it, that it isn't all that it's cracked-up to be. I get a fair amount of audio drop outs or stuttering and image pixilation. In addition, most of the...

No, just add "Business" to the title.

philiphotog, please keep me posted on your findings. I'm wanting to do the same thing. However, the home network install guide from tech.dishnetwork.com indicates that the receiver ethernet port does not support wireless connections.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I need a bit more info. First, I'm recording a program, so I don't want to try this right now. But looking at the manual, it says "select check switch to display the installation summary screen." Then it goes on "Select Test only if directed by the CSR." I take it...
