722 has error 004

[rickdasher]

My 722 with Dish 1000.4 gets Error 004 on occasion when viewing locals. It clears when I switch to OTA. I have L618 downloaded. Sat 77 TP5 (Jacksonville locals) signal is 37. Sat 72 TP11 = 46, Sat 61.5 TP12 = 70. Are the 72 and 77 signals too low? I'm not certain if these are normal. If they aren't, I'll make sure the mast is plumb and skew is correct.

Try a reboot. Mine did this a few weeks ago on random channels. Reboot fixed it. Now my son just told me it's doing it again, but only on HD channels. 129 TP 21 signal is 79.

It's detecting a switch problem. Run a check switch (6-1-1, I believe).

I did. And that fixed it..............for now.

I peaked the dish (off a little). The numbers improved to 77 tp5 = 57, 72 tp11 = 59, 61.5 tp12 = 72. I'll keep an eye out for the error 004. If it pops up again, then I know it isn't signal related

Next time that you peak, protocol is to peak on 72, TP 19 or 21. I tuned to channel 383 HDNMV, then menu 6-1-1, changed to TP 19, then did the fine adjustments at the dish. I ended up with upper 60's on 61.5, upper 50's on 72 & 77.

My 722 is getting Error 004 on occasion after I got L618 downloaded. This IRD is ridiculous!!!!

I just checked 72 TP 19 and that is 59. TP 21 is 58 so I think I'm dialed in.

What is your signal strength on your appropriate sat and transponder for your locals?
