622 install question. help

[colinbarton]

i just got my 622 installed and i have an off the air antenna for locals. with my 942 i got ananlog and digital locals with a program guide, but now i get only digital over the air with no program guide. how do i get the analogs and the program guide.

With the 622 you cant get your analogs via antenna. Its not a feature.. Most likely you would have to sub to your locals. If you do sub to your locals.. they could take up to 24 hours to appear and get guide info

thanx for your reply. what is sub to locals?

bascially pay dish (SUBscribe) $5.99 for local channels each month.

YES YOU DO GET ANALOG TOO!

I am in Seattle and have the exact channels OTA that I did with my 921. Actually kinda bites as I only put the digital ones in my favorites so no duplicates.

I get Channels 4-5-7 (networks) in both Digital and ANalog. Plus some UHF analog only channels. Yes I do pay for Dish Local so I get them there as well.

With your nearly 400 posts I am sure you know a lot.

However, the only reason I can imagine you posted such a falsehood is that it was 12:50 AM and you were "tired." lol

The 622 does not have an NTSC tuner.

Chances are you are getting the E* supplied locals mapped down to the 4-5-7 location. Preference are set up on the 622 for the sd or HD to be there or have none at all. 622 does not have a tuner for analog.
