On the Setup-Aim Dish screen (Menu-6-2) If I try to check signal strength for Off-Air stations, I see an "Acquiring Satellite Data" message that flashes on and off several times and then the Aim Dish app crashes out to an UKN-77 black screen. The receiver appears to recover after 15-20 seconds and then appears to work normally again.

I do see OTA signal strength in the channel banner whilst tuned to an OTA station, but 'Aim Dish' only works for satellite inputs 1 and 2 , not for the off-air tuner.

Anyone else seeing this?

Partially. I've seen the acquiring satdata, but it recovers without an error message.

The OTA signal strength shows as 0 until I hit HELP, then it'll lock onto an OTA channel.

Something has definitely changed with this. When I go from tuner 1 or tuner 2 to off-air, or from off-air to tuner 1 or tuner 2, there is a delay of from less than a second up to several seconds while the 921 continues to display the previous setting signal strength. Then, just prior to switchover to off-air (or switchover to satellite tuner 1 or 2 if it was previously on off-air) I get the Attention 378 Acquiring Satellite Info box for a couple of seconds. This never used to happen. However, once the box disappears on its own, the off-air or satellite signal strength is correct.
