my 622 has been a workhorse for ~2 years but it seemed to begin to act up last night -- within 3 hours, it

-- showed "signal lost" twice (when I was watching OTA programming -- not using the Dish signal at all);
-- lost video completely. the screen just goes blank. audio is fine. when it happens the receiver does not respond to the remote either.

each time I had to power cycle to bring it back to life...

does this mean I should now sign up for DHPP and have it replaced?

I'm in a similar boat primarily with respect to the blank video / good audio.

Seemed to start 2 or 3 updates ago. Continued immediately after 6.12 loaded but I haven't had the problem recently. The problem was most prevalent during the Olympics and usually started when I tried to Swap from one tuner to the other while a recording was in process.

How many times has this happened? Was this just on OTA channels? I have noticed that the error recovery routines in Dish software, when it comes to losing the signal, especially the OTA signal, isn't very reliable. It seems to affect other functions as you describe. Unless I'm recording something I must have, I usually do a front panel reset when this happens. That seems to clear up the issues for me.

I guess it is a software issue then ... I'm not sure which version I'm running at...

the problem occured when I swapped tuners (I was swapping between an OTA channel and a Dish channel). there was a recording in the background when the "signal lost" happened, but there was no recording when the no video occured.

hopefully the problems will be straighten out when the software gets updated...

My 622 will go to the signal lost screen also, been doing it more and more. The last time it did it several times, saying it lost a different channel each time, started at 186, then 187, then 188, then 189 then stopped doing it. I was watching OTA at the time
