Local channels have 4 digit numbers. See if these "funny" numbers are the LIL #'s.
A We never thought of that or a bug?
To clarify, I used a antenna to feed my 622 for a little while but was unhappy with the results as there was to much pixelation. This despite being aprox 3 miles away from the antenna. Then I remembered that when the house was sided there was foil faced foam applied under the siding and that may/could be why the inside antenna was not really reliable.
Antway removing locals from the 622 caused the previously recorded channels to show weird 4 & 5 digit channel numbers rather than 58-01 for example.
I'm wondering if that is a bug or just something they never expected and have not set up the 622 to handle?
It isn't bothering me now that I figured out that the recordings with weird channel numbers were from OTA. However until the light over my head lit up I was thinking about trying a reset and/or calling support.
Cheers

If you set it to map down your LIL will also show up as 58-0 etc. OTA's show up as 58-1,2,etc.TBoneit said:To clarify, I used a antenna to feed my 622 for a little while but was unhappy with the results as there was to much pixelation.

OTA that close probably are over strong signals or multipath. Try antenuators.
what was funny was that the channel numbers of the recordings changed after I removed the local channel. When it worked the picture was better but it wasn't consistent. Probably my fault for trying a cheapo indoor antenna below grade and not remembering the foil backed foam under the siding.
I do recall being able to tune NYC and Philadelphia channels with rabbit ears on a TV in the attic years ago. How many years? I was running a multiline BBS under Dos back then in the attic and kept a TV set up there for when I was doing backups.
