Here's my issue on a 622 w/ a Dish 500:
The video & audio on channels on 119 are digitizing and freezing up completely. 110 & 129 channels are fine. Check switch shows fine. Point dish does not show any issues with signal (even or odd transponders), although some transponders will drop completely out then come right back up (read on - it's not a tree thing). Searching for Satellite screen seems to take longer than normal upon start up. Tried unplugging all inputs, running check switch to kind of clear things out (I've read that tip on here), but still the same behavior.
Here's where I really get confused... This only was happening on Tuner 1 - if I did a PIP, swapped, and then went to one of the bad channels while on Tuner 2, it works fine - no freezing or digitizing.
Next, I tried swapping the inputs coming from the DPP Separator - I put the "Sat 1" output from the Separator into the "Sat 2" jack on the 622, and "Sat 2" output to "Sat 1" input on the 622. With this configuration, the 119 channels work fine on Tuner 1, but when I do a PIP, Swap to Tuner 2, go to one of the bad channels, it freezes - the exact opposite behavior.
My initial theory was a tree was blocking 119, but that was ruled out by the work around. My 2nd Theory was a bad LNB, but if that was it, I don't think my work around would work. I'm wondering if it's really the Separator, since the eratic behavior seems to follow wherever I plug the "Sat 1" jack from it.
Thoughts? Thanks much in advance!
