Where are you located? Windsor is just across the river from downtown Detroit. If you have a strong arm, you could throw a rock and hit it! So, you aim an old-style tv antenna EAST, and you got stations. I don't see a problem. OTA Digital, or Analog, they still get received with a standard antenna.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, but you really aren't providing enough info for some pointed help. I'm almost 100 miles away from Detroit, in northern Michigan, and I can receive OTA analog Windsor (Canadian) stations with an (amplified) antenna. How far away from Windsor are you? Perhaps you are located in a OTA signal "black hole", it happens sometimes.

So, what exact receiver are you trying to use, and what sort of TV antenna (model #, brand?) do you have hooked up to it? Is it amplified? Is it on an outside tower? How high is it? You get the idea, give up some info, and maybe you can get this going.

I can't because I don't know how. Yet I'd guess that the problem as a lack of guide information from DirecTV.

Can you hook your antenna directly to the TV and watch it without using the D* box?
