However, the box will not retain the setting. I'm passing the HDMI from the box through an Onkyo receiver. How do I make the box...

    Better OTA tuner, 722(not K) or 622 or no difference?

    Dish is sending me a 722(not k) to replace my 622. Is there any difference in the ability to pick up OTA channels? I am hoping the 722 is better. My 211 gets better OTA signal than the 622. The 622 has not been very good for me for OTA. My TV tuners and the 211 do a much better job...

    Channel locks

    I just went into my menu and locked the adult channels and some other channels. I made sure that I also marked for them not to show up in the guide. They still show up though. Do I need to reboot for these changes to happen? Why am I still seeing these channels?
