I have 4 boxes, a 722, 2- 622's and a 612. I have recently moved and used dishmover (good experiance and signal!) I have Eastern Arc. The only receiver that gets my local channels is the 722. I have called Dishnetwork on the others, they had me do all the ususal steps to no avail (check switch - force a download, reboot - hot and cold, factory default them all) Nothing has worked, they all get the same channels minus the locals. Thanks in advance.

P.S. the only thing I can think of is that the other 3 boxes I had with me in my earlier house were pulling OTA locals (which I have removed since) - the 722 is new.

On the 722 go to a local channel then go to menu 6-1-1 this should display satellite and transponder that your locals are coming from. Now check that satellite and transponder on the other three receivers. If you have signal strength it probably means DISH needs to send an authorization signal to those 3 receivers to turn the locals on.

Yep Most likly Dish Has to send you a rehit.
No Big deal. Thats Happend to me before changing a package.
Get Technical Support on the phone, And tell them you already did all the Rebooting steps.

OK so I'm a idiot. I just realized after 3 days, fresh RG-6, two calls to Dish Network for support with various "Check switches" and program downloads, that I locked out those channels a while back when they used to show in the menu but I was using OTA.

I admit it, I am an idiot, but I posted this so that others may learn..... and hey 4 Dish Network advanced "CSR's" didn't think it either!

I am happy now!

And that's what matters. Glad you got it worked out.
