    Who here has an OTA antenna but is not a cord cutter?

    I have 2 Directv receivers HR24 and 44 in my living room hooked up to the living room and 3 bedrooms. I do this by splitting the HDMI output and using the component output on each receiver. This gives me 6 outputs, both receivers hooked up to the living room and master bedroom tv's, and 1 HR24...

    AM21

    I've worked with the AM21 for 6 years in the MSP area, and it doesn't seem to matter which way you run them. As long as you actually run the setup with any zip codes you need to attain the channels you want to attain. So just run your home zip as primary and any other zip as secondary. Then if...

    AM21

    I'm in the MSP DMA and have worked with my HR24/AM21 for six years. Currently, I run 6-7 secondary zip codes to attain all the regular stations and the low power stations. Run Utica NY (13501) and Nashville TN (37201) as secondary zips first. Utica will give you 33.2 (Escape) and 33.3 (Laff)...

    New OTA adapter

    I've done extensive work with my AM21's. One on an HR24 and one on an HR44. Since the channel update (additions to the D* OTA database in May-July) my AM21's on both DVR's have obtained the added channels. So it seems to me the AM21 will do everything the new LCC will do. I just hope they update...

    New OTA adapter

    I think they did just fine by developing an OTA option this way. As far as being compatible with the HS17, (it can't be) because the HS17 was designed with NO OTA compatibility. So it would be difficult to make that so. As far as including an antenna goes, I'm sure they did that for someone who...

    22 and subs OTA am21 in Raleigh

    By running Seattle WA (98101) it will give you 22.2 and 22.3 KZJO from Seattle. With an ANTENNA TV guide on 22.3. Then run MPLS/STP (55401) to get 22.4 into you DVR. You have to run 2 secondary zips to get an Antenna TV guide on 22.3 and to get 22.4 to show up on your DVR/AM21. But this is the...

    Quick question on running 2 T.V.'s

    ...6 TV hookups (3 from each DVR). The living room TV is hooked to both DVR's and I have 4 remote bedrooms hooked up. This means 2 people can watch D* in any different combination of rooms. All 6 actually work simultaneously, but you can only have 2 different channels as each DVR outputs to 3...

    The Official SatelliteGuys TV Repack Topic

    A question for somebody who knows? With 41 KPXM RF40 moving to RF16 in the repack in the MPLS/STP market. Does this mean the low power stations currently on RF16 (K16HY-D ST Paul) and RF17 (WUMN-LD Minneapolis) have to move to new RF channels to satisfy the repack? Also, when does low power 43...

    OTA channels on AM21

    ...is 40547 and is under the 65000 range limit on the database on the AM21. I don't know who you would contact to get it added to the database, maybe D* or probably better to contact the station WDIV itself. But "good luck" with that proposition. Other stations not in the D* database for Detroit...

    DirecTV Off-Air Support

    Here is the best procedure you can try. Start by resetting the AM21 on the antenna setup on the DVR. Then do a double reboot by unplugging the DVR/AM21. A double reboot is attained by, unplugging the DVR and letting it reboot. And as soon as it's back from the first reboot unplug it and let it...

    DirecTV Off-Air Support

    You should receive all of the channels (that are in D* database for Casper) that your antenna receives, WITH the correct guide. If you are not, you must have bought a used AM21 and the former zips are causing you to get the wrong guides. It sounds like you have properly cleared the AM21, but the...

    DirecTV Off-Air Support

    I have my AM21 on an HR24 and every time the DVR reboots for that software update, the AM21 only retains the channels from the last 2 zip codes run (stored in the machine). That's why in the layout of zip codes in the previous post the last 2 zip codes run were the same as the first 2 run so...

    DirecTV Off-Air Support

    One thing to remember. When you have a software update or a power outage the AM21 will only re-initialize the 2 zip codes stored in the DVR/AM21. Basically the last 2 zip codes run in the last setup run. So remember the process and you will have to rerun these zip codes after a reboot, because...

    How many extra channels did you add to your AM21 in the Twin Cities, by running secondary zips?

    AM21 question (coconut?)

    I would check back every so often on Rabbitears.info. Because, there is quite a bit of movement of some of the diginets and sometimes one will fall inline and match for you. I don't think there is as much movement as previously, but it still doesn't hurt to check every so often.

    AM21 question (coconut?)

    I can't find a match for a .3 RF13 match to get GRIT on 22.3 RF13 for you. There are about 3-4 channels that carry GRIT on .3 RF13, but none of them are in the database.

    AM21 question (coconut?)

    If you run Roanoke VA (24011) it will give you the BOUNCE guide on 27.2. Then run Columbia SC (29201) to get the correct GRIT guide on 10.3 and 27.3. Then here's a bonus for Springfield. If you run Miami FL (33122) it should give you ANTENNA TV on 33.3 in Springfield, with the correct ANTENNA TV...

    ...and see what's on a certain channel. I just set manual recordings if I want to record on those channels. So you get all these additional channels into your DVR in MPLS/STP, not in the D* database with a little effort and time. There are more, just to numerous to list. I listed the main channels.

    ...them and making sure the last 2 zip code's run, are the 2 zips stored in the DVR (when your DVR reboots) are important. It is really sorry that D* hasn't simplified the method of getting OTA subchannels into their DVR without so much hassle and confusion. I know PlayStation Vue and a OTA Tivo...

    This will sound like I'm from another planet, but it works. It will take about 45 minutes to an hour of time to accomplish. First, you do a double reboot of your DVR to clear the AM21. Then you have to run the initial setup on the AM21, 6 different TIMES. Each time takes 5-7 minutes to run...

    I'm in the Twin Cities market, and by running a bunch of secondary zip codes on the AM21 you can receive almost all of the subchannels in MPLS/STP. I get 2.4, 4.2,5.2,5.3,5.4,5.7,9.2,9.3,9.4,11.2,11.3,23.2,23.3,23.4,41.2,41.3,41.4,43.1,43.2,43.3,43.4. There are some more, I'd have to check. Now...

    AM21 question (coconut?)

    What I would do is run Weslaco as a secondary zip before Houston and see what you have. If you don't have LAFF on 22.3 RF13 after this I would try Mobile AL and then Houston. With Mobiles 5.3 having a different RF channel it might give you 22.3 RF13 LAFF. It's your choice as to how you want to...

    AM21 question (coconut?)

    ...a certain channel, misunderstanding the fact that the AM21 will receive ANY channel picked up by your antenna that is either in the database for D* or can be matched up using a secondary zip code that matches either the channel or the RF channel. So by using Memphis as a secondary zip code in...

    AM21 question (coconut?)

    I just looked at something that might conflict for you. I remember in the past that you have stated that you use Weslaco TX to match 5.3 to METV in Burlington. I noticed that Weslaco' 5.3 is on RF13. Therefore you might not get 22.3 RF13 by using Houston. You can use Mobile AL to match 5.3 to...
