Lost OTA Locals

Remove them all, do a hard reset, then try adding them again.

Hey Sooner, I also lost my OTA as well as my sister when we both got the L612 upgrade for the 622. I finnaly got the L613 but that didn't do anything. I tried everything from a hard reset to deleting the channels and rescan. No luck. I know it's the receiver because I also have a 722 and put that one where the 622 was and I scan and get 43 digital channels. I put the 622 back and rescan and get 1 digital channel. This is not the first time this has happened. DishNetwork screwed up the codes in the software once again.

Yeah, I called tech support and he had me unplug the OTA coax, do a reboot. Had me reconnect the cable and still no luck. He said he'd sent the ticket to engineering and for me to call back in 3 or 4 days.

So I'm stuck w/o OTA locals til they figure it out. It really is frustrating because I can't get HD locals, Tulsa market is still SD. I had just installed an antenna 4 days before 6.13 trashed my system. But I had it Long enough to know that OTA HD blows away any HD signal dish puts out.

The best HD signal I've seen on Dish was the Democratic National Convention coverage.

I really wish they'd get all their new sats up and running so just maybe they could quit compressing the quality out of their HD.

Has anybody figured out what to do?
I received 6.13 and lost my OTA as well.

I called dish and had them swap boxes. They kept telling me to wait to see if they could fix the problem but I insisted it was broken and they should fix it. I got the new (refurb) 622 and OTA works fine now.

When you scan for locals does it scan all the channels in 2-3 seconds? This is what mine did and no matter how many reboots, unhooking cables etc. didn't fix the problem.

If they don't want to swap 622's, insist, then insist to talk to a supervisor then insist more.

Good Luck.

I just tried to rescan after a couple of days and worked fine. Not sure what changed this time but hope it works for good.
Thanks for the reply

My OTA is back up again too. It's a good thing I waited.
