    How to hook HD OTA to Directv's HD DVR?

    Not only that but if you live close enough to another metropolitan area, you might be able to pick up their signals. I live in the Wash DC area and get the Baltimore stations using my OTA. Not only is a OTA good for rain fade, but if a program I want to watch on a DC local is preempted for...

    Using old system after installing HD service

    Ahh so the feds keep D* from providing a service that I, and probably quite a few others, would be willing to pay D* for, but because of some stupid law or FCC reg. At least I can get them through my antenna. Yes I still have one, and yes I get a very good HD signal strength from the Baltimore...

    Using old system after installing HD service

    Sure you can keep your SD DTV receiver and dish. My old 2LNB dish now resides in my garage, while my old SD DVR (a DirecTivo unit) is now in the master bedroom hooked up to the SD TV we have up there. You could just hook up your old SD receiver at home (both coax and phone) and enable it or...

    Big Ten Network Info

    Where exactly did you see the info on channel changes on the website? Could you provide a link? IIRC, during the last football season, there were up to 3 Big Ten games on at once, between the regular BTN channel and their alternates.

    HR 21 recording bug - Anybody else?

    I was having the exact same issue, but with USA HD on channel 242. It appears to be that the signal was dropping out just when recording was to begin. Between rebooting the box, and putting in brand new coax between the box and the feeds off the dish, my problem seems to have gone away. It was...

    HR20 keeps loosing Recordings, Favs, Prioritizor

    Why can't DTV just tell us these things? What do we have to do to get this kind of info out them? Waterboarding? Tasers? I just got my HR20 and the 5LNB dish installed less than two weeks ago. I set up the receiver to work with my home network and while it was connected to the web, I could not...

    5lnb slimline dish

    How does one fine tune/dither the dish? My problem is that some HD channels will drop out while I still receive other HD channels. It got bad enough this past Saturday, to where I was 'motivated' to call DirecTV, and after going through the round robin of questions about the weather and what...

    An HDTV Reciever with an Standard analog TV

    I'm doing the same thing, but my problem is that the two rooms are close enough that my HDTV and my kitchen SDTV process the audio at a slightly different rates so if I have both on, I get a stadium-like echo effect.
