Here's a twist on the 771: I have 3 units going. I'm getting all the channels on 2 of them. The third receiver is not finding 25% of the channels., like 229 / 628. The connections seem fine. Think the receiver is going?

I'm using an indoor terk directional on the main level, which needs to be pointed for each of the local channels. My wife thinks that she's too good to actually have to remember where to point it :mad:, but we also lose signal anytime the wind blows. On the upper level I have a simple rabbit...

Sorry to be bumping this, but I've spent the last year wasting my time listening to my wife screaming at me to quit stalling and get this fixed. She's sick and tired of lost signals. So, has anything changed? Any recommendations for good installers? BTW, I'll be looking for someone willing...

"Combining two similar antennas pointing in different directions usually gets you less signal than one (Merging feedlines)" I was afraid of that. Thanks.

Jim, Thats very interesting and so simple and cheap I'll certainly try it. Just a couple of quick questions. Will this only pick up UHF, so the PBS station that broadcasts on VHS won't be picked up? Would building 2 of these, aim them in the two main directions, combine them using a splitter...

Help, I live in Omaha and find that the tower locations are a nightmare for an OTA antenna. Some stations are located in one direction and several others are over 100 degrees off. Another important one to me (PBS) is 180 degrees from the majors. Someone has suggested that I mount an...

This AM it still wasn't on. I unplugged the receiver and reset it. ITS BACK!:up

I lost it too and still don't have it back.:mad: :mad: :mad: I do get 623 and 625, but no 622.

I have the H20-600, the Hughes HTL-HD and an RCA DTC-210. Boba, thanks for the help.

Just to clarify, I have 4 TVs hooked up to 4 D* receivers. I'm guessing that I'll end up keepng the cable TV, but run it as a seperate line to one of the TVs for emergency purposes. I was hoping that someone has experience with my specific set-up. Thanks for the input.

I have D* and basic cable (its free) running to my TVs and D* receivers through the same coax. It works fine. I had an installer put up a HD OTA antenna so I can get my locals in HD. The D* and cable still work, but the OTA signals do not come through. The installer is guessing that the OTA...

H20-600 have terrible problems with overheating. I put 1" feet on mine and it works fine.

Yes, The RF antenna is installed "No, you should replace the batteries. Those chinese batteries they ship with last for like a week." Yes, I replaced the batteries. "I have the same H20 problem when using the program guide...hit a button, wait 1-2 seconds and see what happens. When...

Problem with my H20 I know its not on target as far as the interactive question, BUT, am I the onlyone who is having a serious problem with my H20's remote. No mattter if I'm set to IR or RF the remote is hit or miss. I sometimes need to push the buttons 10+ times in order for it to register...
