Thanks for the info so far. At least I know I have it aimed correctly. I did take my time using the fine screws while the wife watched the meters in the house. And I was already thinking of upgrading the LNB to the SWM version as it is very old, I put that dish up in replacement of the old sd...

Hiya, I've done a lot of skim reading on the subject, talking about apps and all the rough alignment procedures. I've done that, the mount is completely plumb, used a pipe level, no trees obstructing, and believe I'm getting decent signal. But.. I still get skips on channels that bring up signal...

Oh, very nice. Thanks for the info. :)

Hi, I think my HR24 had an update last night. Over the weekend, it was acting extra sluggish in playback and even having some erratic behavior doing forward/back scan thru recordings. Usually means it's holding downloaded data for an update. It's acting extra responsive today, and one thing...

What DirecTV needs to do now is make people more aware of Weather Nation. Put it in those obnoxious ad bars on the grid.

I've been running into more and more scheduler conflicts due to shows that are purposely scheduled a minute over/under, is this some kind of trick to purposely defeat dvring? Other than Manual, I don't see a way to schedule a show 1 minute under to series record, am I missing anything else?

Unfortunately my opinion is don't take that one as written in stone. :( Hope I'm proven wrong. They replaced the morning radio guy at WGN radio not that long ago. After giving him a multi year contract, and they tossed him a very short time after he bought a house here. What the money people do...

Enjoy. Having lived right down Addison for 24 years I've been to games, but really don't watch it on tv, Hawks fan, myself. For a lot of locals, they treat the place as Club Wrigley, and could care less how the actual game went. :/ Good to see there's still enthusiasm for it. It's been pretty...

WGN 9 local is back on. Wonder if MLB had any influence...

Looks? IS. And has been for a good long time now. The whole bankruptcy thing has only made a really bad situation even worse over there. Now you've got people at Tribune who are going in two different directions at the same time. Some who still seem to be doing negotiations in a sloppy...

It's Tribune, 'odd' is pretty much the normal operating day for them. They've already fully screwed up what used to be the untouchable radio station in the Chicago area, a newspaper that is a shade of its former self, and they're running the tv local in a similar direction, and now this mess... :/

IF they could figure out how, I'm sure they'd do that too, lol.

+1 HR24, lags really bad pulling up the guide, sometimes changing channels. Also on national release, have never done the ce's. 89% free. Rebooting the box has no apparent effect. Had a thought it might be doing something in the background? Either active or is downloading, eating up it's own...

You probably can't just plug in the antenna. Look first if it has an actual antenna in, a few models actually did. For most models, the AM-21 tuner is an extra piece of hardware you probably need to get from DirecTV to be able to run the OTA through your DVR if it isn't already capable. It works...

One self-correction I would make, is back then the Comcast I'm referring to was called AT&T Broadband, before Comcast swooped in and locked up most of the area buying them and the other smaller providers. More info for you, going further back than 2009: Chicagoland Television - Wikipedia...

It's never been open for bid to anyone else, and I seriously doubt it will ever be, as it is something Comcast put together way back as a sales tool. They pitched it to Tribune, not the other way around, and put together a huge subscriber campaign when it first rolled out. It only very recently...

CLTV is exclusive to cable, it's not OTA or on Satellite. Only two cable providers carry it, and when it first rolled out, it was exclusively Comcast, in a deal between them and Tribune. There were huge marketing campaigns for people to go Comcast to get CLTV when it first rolled out. Ok, and...

Something to think about, and was mentioned in the first thread on this, is how Comcast is on the bandwagon. Something people outside the Chicago area, Tribune's home, may not know is Tribune is very heavily tied to Comcast in the Chicago area. They even have extra programming that is...

The simple answer is Qubo isn't a channel on DirecTV but a syndication network. NBC and Ion carry it, check the tv schedule tab on that website.

Your poll needs a third choice, neither. To me this is just the latest pawn in the cable/sat battle. And both of them have done their own way to paint the opponent as the 'bad' guy. My message to Comcast, there's simply no way I'm leaving DirecTV for yours, with or without VS. I specifically...

Thanks, I actually had left it unplugged overnight last night to let it cool off to see if it was a heat issue, even though the exterior had no detectible hotspots, no such luck, still dead to the world. Talked to D* this morning and after going thru the reset button / unplugging thing again...

And, the settings of the receiver. One of the submenus on the receiver should have choices of what resolutions to use, turn off the 480 one altogether, then try it first with just the 720p one checked then with only the 1080i one checked and see what the picture quality is like.

Mine's frozen right now, only the blue power dot lights dimly, have tried unplugging and the reset button. Any other bright ideas short of contacting DTV?

Yes, it's very slow on just about all responses to the remote over my other recievers too, especially on the guide, that's normal for the HR21 it seems.

Ditto what they said the Logitech Harmony series are the best programmable remotes out there.
