I would like to get a ViP622, but I don't think that I will be able to get all of the digital channels that I currently get in analog. Can I split out the antenna signal before I run it to the receiver and then combine them again or is there no way to get analog signals if I use the ViP622?

Not sure I understand your question.

The ViP622 does not have an analog OTA tuner, so nothing you do will make it receive analog OTA.

You can, however, connect an antenna directly to your TV, VCR, or whatever else you may have in your home that does have an analog OTA tuner to watch those channels.

Just no way to do it with a ViP, since it only has a digital OTA tuner built-in.

I'm also not sure I understand the question, but if you just want to combine the antenna signal with the Home Distribution connection from the 622 so that the remote TVs can watch the 622 "channels" or the OTA analog, that is doable. You'd need two splitters. The 1st one has the antenna input with one output going to the 622 in and the other output going to an output of the 2nd splitter. The 622 home dist output goes to the 2nd splitter's other output and the "input" on the 2nd splitter (used as a combiner here) goes to the distant TV(s).
