OTA and 622 Dropping Signal

[h2oski]

I currently have 2 622s that are hooked into my roof antenna for my HD OTA programming. About a week or so ago I started having problems with both 622s dropping the OTA signal. Every couple of minutes I loose the signal and get the yellow pop up or it pixelates and pauses for a second and comes right back up.

I do not have a preamp on my antenna. I am getting a signal strength of 100 on the channels that I keep dropping. I read on this forum of installing a voltage blocker, but then someone posted that it shouldn't matter with a 622. What can I do to fix the problem? The dish guys were here today to try installing a third 622, that is another story. They didn't have an answer for me. They thought it was due to the leaves budding out on trees. That would make sense if I had a low signal strength, but I have a signal strength of 100. Any help would be apprieciated.

Thanks

Andy

Nothing you can do. This problem is caused by the new software update and you'll have to wait until Dish Network releases the next software update that will fix the problem.

Just to make sure you have L4.03, go to Menu, 6, 1, 3 and note the software version.

I just checked and I do have the L4.03 software version. I am starting to get sick of having Dish. Any idea as to when Dish plans on fixing this problem? My guess is if I called Customer No Service they wouldn't know. Is there any way to revert back to an old version of the software?

L4.04 has been released to a few people as a beta to try and address this issue. So hopefully you will see an update soon. There is no way to go back a rev.
