    Recording from antenna?

    I recently got an antenna for picking up OTA HD signals and was wondering if I hooked it up through the R15 antenna in port if I would be able to record TV using that signal. I'm not asking if it would record HD, I'm sure it wouldn't, but does the DVR record any signal coming into the receiver...

    The same question again

    Took my antenna back to walmart and decided to try an amplified one before I tried the silver sensor ($5 cheaper). Got the Philips MANT310. So far so good. Picked up all the HD channels I wanted, plus a couple extra UHF channels that will be nice. Will see how it works over the course of a...

    The same question again

    Does the quality (aka price) of the diplexer matter? I see quite a range in prices depending on where I look. Anywhere from about $3 to $20.

    The same question again

    I was thinking about that. A multiswitch or something like that would be needed, no? There's a junction outside of the house that I could tap into potentially. Basically, what it is is the 2 wires from the sat running underground, then up the outside. Then there's a "connector" for lack...

    The same question again

    Thanks for the visual. My dish is mounted off the roof about 75' from the house due to trees in the area (which also is probably affecting my OTA signal). There is some existing wiring from cable that I could probably hook up to, but the jack for that is on the other side of the room. I have...

    The same question again

    I actually received one station I'd like to keep that isn't HD. I'll have to check to see what its frequency is, but it's a local station that has a 24 hour a day weather station. We have directv, so we don't get a dedicated weather channel, so it would be nice to keep that station. The way...

    The same question again

    Alright, so I stopped at Walmart tonight and picked up one of these http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/phimant210.html Nothing spectacular, not powered. Just wanted to see how much it increased my reception. It did OK, but some channels didn't come in reliably, but it did pick up 8 analog and 13...

    The same question again

    I see Circuit City has the phillips model (at least online) for 24.99. Walmart online doesn't have it that I saw, but that was only online. Haven't checked in store.

    The same question again

    Ahh. Thanks for the explanation. The lowest frequency assignment is 13, and that's the ABC affiliate.

    The same question again

    Yeah, I looked on antennaweb...I don't remember about channel 2 for sure, but channel 9 (CBS) broadcasts on 9.1. Just checked, 2 is 2.1 as well.

    The same question again

    Looking for an indoor antenna to pick up local HD broadcasts. I've read quite a few other threads trying to find an answer, and I was going to go with the Silver Sensor or whatever it's called, but I see it doesn't have rabbit ears, and I was wondering if it would pick up the VHF signals. In...

    New Direct DVR

    I've had the R15 since December of 2005 and have had sporadic problems, but nothing chronic. I've had a few things not record (two were sporting events...one live) and I've had one recording that came up entirely black screen. But other than that, no major complaints with the R15. Although, I...

    Awful, Awful Awful R15

    All is well again after another reset. Relatively speaking.

    Awful, Awful Awful R15

    I've noticed it, too. My 30-sec skip will only work one at a time after awhile. And the responsiveness of the play button after fast forwarding is pretty slow. The 6-sec backup also isn't very responsive. This problem has happened twice since the new update. It fixed itself after I...
