On the 722 DVR, is there a way to disable the error message when the OTA signal is lost? It's the dreaded yellow box that pops up any time there's a signal loss. It seems with the 722 that any time there's any signal loss, the error message pops up and takes a couple seconds to disappear when the signal comes back. I would prefer just seeing the pixelization when there is a brief loss of signal, like what happens using my TV's tuner. Thanks!

Nope!
Have you tried a pre-amp, or a better antenna?

Thanks, jim5506. I figured that was the answer.
I have a great antenna system with a pre-amp, and the loss of signal only happens on one local channel and more distant channels. It's a UHF-only antenna and a VHF local station that I have problems with, which of course is understandable. Still, my TV tuner seems to handle the VHF channel much better than the Dish 722's ATSC tuner. With the TV, it's just brief pixelization, which rarely happens. The Dish error message pops up more often with the 722 and is more of an annoyance than the pixelization.
Thanks again!
