Help, No OTA from antenna with 622!

[iceshark]

Just went to scan for locals and it found ZERO! Checked connections again and they are fine as follows. I have my channel master double fly swatter on roof. Connected by DIRECT rg6 to back of 622. No diplexer needed.

Worked great on 921 and VOom.

went to setup and scan for off air. NO CHANNELS DETECTED.

ANY IDEA'?

Thanks

Try manually scanning to see if you can even get any signal strength. Sit on each channel for a few seconds

Thanks Fantasy, Tried NO DICE! However looking up on my high roof I think I may see the problem. It appears that one lead might have blown off with high winds this winter. I have not used since December with 921 and it may be as easy as that. I will check and report back tomorrow.
I have more pressing problems with possible bad DPP-44!

Only other thing to check (I know you said you checked the connections, but) is to make sure that the antenna is connected to the antenna connection and not the modulated output on the back of the 622. That probably isn't it, but if so it is an easy fix.

Try hooking antenna line direct to a tv and see if analog comes through. Any way to check if antennia itself is pointed correctly (mine turned enough to start losing channels in high winds). Have you checked preamp/amp? Can you reconnect to previous systems?

Checked and it has not moved. Had marked on mast with paint. Will get up on roof tonight. I do not have any preamp with it. Had a 10db one on last system and it did more trouble then good.

I had the same problem with my 622. Found the connection between the antenna coax and the 622 was not attached to the 622 properly.

Once I got it connected properly I rescanned and found the stations my 921 had found, but the 622 signal strength was lower than my 921.

The 921 meter is goes to 125 while the 622 only goes to 100, if you figure as a percentage, there is not much difference in the acuracy.

This was not a complaint, just stating what I thought was a problem at the time. After two weeks of use I see that the 622 signal strength is lower but much more stable than that shown on the 921.

Also, I have not had to do a re-boot for 10 days now, so I am very happy!

I also agree with that.
