It just showed up on the last 622 update. There was a thread where someone with a different model receiver said they were receiving the original show date info in the guide. Someone with a 622 said that no one with a 622 was getting this info. But that was not true as I said. I had it and now it's gone! I want it back as stated. Gerry

L360 here this morning and it's looking fine thus far. I haven't noticed any adverse affects...yet. 
Man, this is getting old...L3.60 FW-watched two recorded programs tonight, Deadwood and Brotherhood, and they both had moments of video jerkiness, or stuttering. I really, really, wish Dish would fix this, my D* HD-TiVo never does this(it does other things, but it doesn't stutter. ).
).
No stuttering for me and I watched Deadwood, Entourage, and Dane Cook's Tourgasm. (All time shifted).

I've not had any OTA recording problems, but I think I've only used OTA for channel 39 -- I assume the issue only occurs if there is an HD feed for the channel?
I did have a timer fail on channel 13 last night using SAT HD. Which is the first time that's happened. I rebooted and the 622 started recording normally. I had already done a poweroff reboot earlier in the day.

Yeah, I think it's mostly on ABC-13 that I get the problems. If sat HD's are simply turned on, my OTA timers don't fire.
I should also note that I have not tested this with L3.60, but, it sounds like you're having this problem last night (which would leave me to believe you have L3.60 and the problem is still valid.)
Well, that would indicate the problem is specific to the STB itself, which makes the problem even worse. Are we supposed to play STB roulette until we get a "good" one?ChetK said:
Has anyone else noticed a revised OTA signal strength scale after L360? Before, most of my local channels were in the 95-100 range; now they're running 75-85. Still just as rock-steady as before, though.

With Regards To The Ota Timers Not Firing...
Remember I sent an e-mail to Dish regarding this issue? Here's what I sent:

Didn't see much change in signal strength, but the OTA's audio level is lower across the board. It didn't happen with this update though and can't figure out what made them get softer.....every OTA channel. It's very annoying to have to turn the volume up and down when channel surfing from OTA to Dish programming.
I'm noticing a bit more jitter on the SD channels now than I did with L359. This is after a power cord reset.
Last night, while I was watching CNBC, I experienced jitter first time since L3.60. But the difference this time was self corrected after few seconds. I first notice the tickers at the bottom of screen started jitter like before, then smoothed, and little jitter again, but with less noticible, then smoothed self again..... it back and forth several times, and everything became normal again......... not sure it this is the new enhancement from L3.60...... but at least that I don't have to fet up and reboot the box.
Has anyone noticed a better SD picture over component since 3.60?
I have noticed that SD is looking a LOT better since 3.60. It just tlooks clearer to me for some reason.

News tickers is where it's most noticeable, I agree, hzhao. That's one of the places where I saw it first after L360, but I've seen it on other SD channels since L360 aswell.
Another interesting thing I've noticed: it doesn't seem to happen as frequently as it used with L359 and as you noted, hzhao, it seems to correct itself after a bit instead of needing remote tinkering (channel switch, skip ahead, etc.) and no reboot needed either. That seems to be a slight improvement.

I sat down in front of my 622 just now and it was recording a movie on the viewable tuner so I hit swap. I was greeted by a black screen with audio on the other tuner. I tried changing the channel and it slowly switched to other channels which were also black screen with audio. I could swap back and forth with the recording tuner looking fine. I had to reboot to get both tuners back.
I have had that happen twice, didn't have to re-boot. It has been awhile but I think I brought up the guide and selected a channel, and it fixed it.nazz said:I sat down in front of my 622 just now and it was recording a movie on the viewable tuner so I hit swap.
