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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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.

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...

Hey, just got a new TV (Olevia 232 LCD HDTV) and I cant find a remote code for the R15. Any ideas? Ive read that LG, RCA, some other codes work, but I havent found one that does... any thoughts? Thanks

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...

All is well again after another reset. Relatively speaking.

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...

I had issues with my Toshiba not turning off with the TV on/off button, but I've changed it to the above code, and it works perfectly. Thanks for the info.

With the new upgrades, I've noticed a difference in the series link option. However, not really in a good way. I wanted to record 'Scrubs' for tonight. So, I went to 'series link' and set it up to record all first runs. The problem is that there are 2 new episodes on tonight, but only...

I got the R15 about a week ago, and I've been happy with it. Of course, this is my first DVR, so I have nothing to compare it to. I've talked about a few minor issues, but they're just that...minor...at least to me. I've found that with the series link, the first time I tried setting up a...

It wouldn't do anything. When I tried to hit the record button or set a show, it wouldn't do anything. But it worked perfect on channels that are in my subscription.

While the Showtime free preview was going on this weekend, I tried to record a movie with the DVR, but it wouldn't allow it. Is it because I don't have a subscription to Showtime and you can't record during a free preview? I'm hoping that's the case...

Got mine at Best Buy Friday night in Baton Rouge. They had about 10-15 units on the floor.

I picked up an R15 Friday night at Best Buy. So far, the only issues I've had is with the remote. I've set the remote up to control the TV, but the "TV on/off" button on the right side of the remote that is supposed to turn off the TV and box at the same time only turns off the box. Not...

Nevermind. I've done some searching in the forum and I think I've got the answers I need. Pretty much better off just calling an installer and having him run the extra line...

OK, second question. I've got the triple-head LNB mounted on a post in my yard. The system was installed professionally and was set up for 2 rooms. I don't know if there were more than 2 wires ran into the house from the satellite, but I'm assuming there weren't. If there were 3 or 4...

I've been researching the DTV DVR and saw that it requires 2 signal inputs into the DVR box for full functionality, i.e., watching/recording 2 shows at once. I know for me to have 2 DTV boxes, I pay $4.99 for the second TV. Would I have to pay an additional $4.99 for the 2nd input into the...
