Yep, that's exactly what I get too. Mostly solid, but tends to drop out more.
My HDTV is just a monitor (no tuner)... I used to have a 6000 Dish HD receiver, and 17 HD would breakup more often than the other channels. Similar results on an Accurian standalone HD receiver I had.
But, since getting my ViP622 a few weeks ago, everything improved, and I actually have had NO OTA breakups since install. I get 5, 11, 22, 28, 50 all at 95-100 on the signal bar and a solid lock... My channel 4 comes in clean at 70-75 and my 17 comes in solid at 88-90 most days.
So... if my results are any indication, you may experience similar better locking on the digital channels once you get your ViP622 upgrade. I was very happy, and it completely changed my plans to put up a larger in-attic antenna to get better signal. I'm not going to get better than what I have right now. Hopefully you will see similar results once you get your new receiver.
