Has anyone compared the OTA tuner in the 622 to the tuner in TIVO Series 3 HD PVR? I have the 622 with the best outside antenna /amp that I could purchase.
I live in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky and about 60 miles from most digital stations. I get several ststions but not any signal to spare. I would like to upgrade to the new TIVO HD Series 3 PVR as a second source of OTA recording if their receiver is equal to or better than the DISH 622. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I recently canceled my dish account and trying to return the vp622 to dish. I bought the tivo HD and it will lock onto all of the OTA HD channels where as the 622 could not. I live around 45 to 50 miles S.East from the Macon, Ga. channels. I really am inpressed with the tivo HD it can record 2 OTA signals while you are watching a show you have already recorded. I hope this helps.

Thanks, this helps me make a decision. I have a different set of problems with the 622 each time DISH does an update. At the present time I am having problems with the audio on my FOX OTA channel. This happened after the last update. Now I will try to find the best price on TIVO Series 3.

Appreciate your help.
