    EHD and saving old Dvr programs

    I am considering a Hopper, but I am unclear on saving my old programs. I have a 1TB EHD full and a 722 almost full. How do I get these programs to the new system. Another EHD is not an option as I understand it, as it would also need to be activated and I would be charged another fee. Given the...

    ota not coming in on HD

    I have a OTA where I receive El Paso channels, each with the same compass heading. 1 of the 3 no longer comes in in HD. The others are fine. It's run thru a Direct tv dvr, and was working fine. I reran the setup on the receiver to make sure. Why would it work on 2 channels and not the 3rd? Chet

    Trouble w OTA HD reception

    Just thought I'd let you know what I found, maybe it'll help some one else. I finally got mad and disassembled the antenna. Sure enough, the soldered connections from the coaxial connected and the board had both broken, Bad soldering job at the factory in bumf**k China I suppose.... Chet

    Trouble w OTA HD reception

    Lost local HD channels

    I am having similar problems. I have a DMA of 143 (El Paso), a single TerkOTA antenna that worked fine for months. FOX HD puked out just as the Daytona 500 was about to start. I started getting pixelation, then losing HD. Antenna adjust seemed not to help. I reset the receiver, after which it...
