Finally got the 6.3c (from 3.1) upgrade two days ago.
Since then, have no functionality of the OTA singal strength meters. They're still coming in, but not as strongly.
I read through the six pages on the 6.3 thread and didn't see this mentioned, so may just be me.
But if anyone has similar issues and/or advice it would be appreciated. :)

My signal strength meters stopped once while I had 6.3b. A reboot fixed them. No problems so far under 6.3c.

i now have the 6.3c and never got the 6.3b. once i got the 6.3c, i started hooking up the OTA.

1 SAT feed and 1 OTA feed into the 1st Diplexer. one line comes out into the 2nd Diplexer, then it split backout into two out feeds, 1 SAT feed and 1 OTA feed again.

i used a small indoor antenna. i tried the 2 diplexers setup from above, and no signal meters but i can get 5.1.

got rid of the 2 diplexers and just ran 1 line straight from the OTA. i don't see any signal meters either. but i get most of the HD local channels i wanted. 2.1, 4.1, 5.1, 7.1, 11.1, 13.1, and 50.1

but i don't get 9.1.

all seemed to be coming in fine. will start recording and see what happen.

as i was testing the signal meter. it was working fine on one transponder, but switch around and they all disappear. must be a bug with the HR10 OTA

im having a difficult time getting 7.1 not 9.1. i was able to get all 6 HD but 7.1 and 50.1 is very weak.

move the antenna around, finally got 7.1 at about 71%, but others are very weak.

im using the Zenith little antenna. just bought the Terk TV-3 rabbit ears, will see how this one workout next week.

im about 22-23 miles from mt. wilson
