I have a 622 and my locals OTA have never been that great. I am 12-15 miles from all the network towers but while most of you blame the 622 tuner, I have always blamed my antenna. We are talking about OTA locals not received through DISH, right, the ones you receive by hooking up your OTA antenna to the back of your 622??
My reception didn't change with the 4.03 software. I get between 75%-90% most of the time but the picture doesn't stay. It will drop and go to the yellow screen, then pick back up or it will get pixelated, etc. I don't dare record an OTA HD channel as I would lose a lot of the show I wanted to watch.
So again, why is the 622 being blamed and not the fact that you live far from the transmitter tower or live in the city with a lot of interference, etc? When you go straight from your antenna to the TV, does it still drop the signal or only when plugged into the 622?
Just wondering...
