Thanks for the info. Just to make sure I have it right- I have two H20s currently. However, I am only replacing one with a HR21. The one I am replacing has 2 lines to its location. So if I understood you correctly, then I will not need to do anything special. The H20 that I am not replacing...

I am thinking of upgrading to a HR21. I currently have a H20. I have two lines coming off the dish etc. Is there anything special I need to do before I hook up the HR 21? I was looking over the HR 21 manual. It talks about a SWM (single wire module). How do I tell if my installation...

Is anyone aware of any promos for current DirecTV HD customers to upgrade to a HD-DVR?

I would recommend a Terk HDTVa antenna. It is an indoor, amplified antenna and provides excellent channel reception.

I just bought a Terk HDTVa yesterday at BestBuy (indoor antenna). Excellent reception of all HD channels in the DFW area. It's as good as the outdoor Winegard antenna I've had the last 4 years.

Is there a special number for the retention department?

I am thinking of getting a HD-DVR. Do I need to have an additional line coming into the house or can I just split the current line into two inside the house?

I live in the DFW area and as of yesterday morning, I have not been able to get the local channels in HD through the OTA antenna. I called DirecTV and they said something about a software update that prevents the OTA signal from passing through the STB. I have a H20 receiver and a 3-LNB dish...

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Do I need to get the BBC converter for programming received through the 3 LNB, or is that something I need only for the 5 LNB dish?

Will the 3 LNB dish continue to work even after Sep. 2007?

Can someone list which local channels are available in HD with the 5 LNB dish in the DFW area? Also, do you really lose the OTA channels with the 5 LNB hook-up?

Do the HD-10 receivers have an integrated diplexer? I want to combine OTA and satellite feed and I know I need an diplexor by the dish/antenna to combine the signals. Just need to know if I need a diplexer at the receiver as well or if it is already built-in.

I can't believe it either! What a shame Voom had to close down. Have you made the switch to Dish or Direct? Any thoughts on which one is better for HD content?

Thanks, Matt. I will check it out.

Thanks mdanderson! Do you know what kind of inline signal amp Voom installed?

Thanks, Ilya. I am afraid to move the antenna in case I lose the remaining OTAs, which I have no problem with.

Amplifying OTA signal Ilya, Would the "voltage increase" trick allow me to amplify certain low OTA signals that produce a pixelated picture? I receive most of the OTA signals just fine. However, I have had pixelation issues with the Public TV station here in Dallas for the last 2 weeks...

Amplifying OTA signal? Is it possible to amplify the OTA signal using an in-line amplifier of some sort?

Makes sense. Thanks Ilya!

I currently have two STBs and they both work fine. Over the weekend I was having some work done in the room where STB1 was installed and so I disconnected it for a couple of hours (power and antenna). During this time, the OTAs disappeared from STB2, but the VOOM channels were coming through...

Hey TX dude Raising the Stealth antenna to the pitch of your roof should do the trick.

Moving the antenna 4 feet above its original location on the roof seems to have done the trick! Channel 27 (and all of the others except channels 55, 58 and 68) are coming through very clearly.

I just got off the phone with MetroTech Solutions who does the VOOM installations here in Dallas regarding the inability to change channels etc. He says that VOOM is installing new software and had given him an ETA of 2 hours (this was 3 hours ago) and I am continuing to have problems

Metro Tech is coming out on Monday. I may have them move it to the top of the roof. I have the RCA antenna upgrade now. Hopefully moving the antenna will make a difference.
