Ok here is the mother of all. I just (last week) bought a used DSR550 rec. off e-bay. Hooked up via composites and powered on all Ok. I just wanna get some OTA programs. Yes I have my map from antenna web.
That was the easy stuff. The prev. owner had some Ohio and Detroit channels in there already. I am near Philla Pa. with a fairly long list of available channels. Now comes the fun the previous owner put a pin on the system settings and the parental controls he has gone conveniently on vacation. I show software version 7.37. How can I delete or override the pins and if I do a factory reset will I lose all? Must I download a map and how do I with Voom asta la bye bye. Finally WHY can I not tune the frequency I want and recieve my ota HD. Or can I and I am doing something stupid, wrong. Stupid mistakes are my hallmark. Oh yea I'm using a 30 yr old uhf antenna and a RCA without the amp. But I,m only 22 miles from the antenna's I want. I do want a Terk 38 but gotta convince the wife that HD is worth the money I'm spending :
