Do other RF's mean hidden channels?

**mdovell** · 04-21-2006 11:43 AM

from antennaweb.org I get the listings for what I can get (weather permitting etc)

in the tune antenna part though I put in some other rf numbers just for the heck of it and some of them came up with signal (66 and 56 come up with around 60's range)

Also I was thinking would effects for OTA be effected any differently by putting the digitiplexer back on?

Three possible reasons, why the box doesn't lock on these channels:

1. (Most likely!) These are analog channels. The DSR-550 cannot decode analog channels.
2. These are digital channels without PSIP data.
3. The signal level is not strong enough.

Depending on your configuration, the diplexer may have positive or negative effect. Feel free to experiment.
