Recently went HD with a 722 and a 612. I pay for the HD locals cause Dish Tech said I'd receive no program info in my Guide for OTA channels.
On the chance my receivers crap out, I wanted to have my locals programmed into my TV's through my rooftop antenna connection - which is run through my receivers at the "TV in" and goes to my TVs on Rf along with the "SAT out" via HDMI.
On the 612, with the SAT receiver off, attached TVs get the OTA locals beautifully through the RF connection.
On the 722, I'm connected with RF and HDMI out same as above. But, when I do a television scan for locals through the RF connection with the receiver off, all I pick up is very snowy analog reception - no digitals. The SAT receiver will do a channel scan and pick up all my digital locals just great, but in order to watch local programming, the receiver has to be on.
Is this a difference between the 722 and 612 handling of OTA antenna feeds? And by the way, my scanned locals on my 722 DO provide programming info in the guide - contrary to Tech Support's statement.
