    Who here has an OTA antenna but is not a cord cutter?

    I have 2 Directv receivers HR24 and 44 in my living room hooked up to the living room and 3 bedrooms. I do this by splitting the HDMI output and using the component output on each receiver. This gives me 6 outputs, both receivers hooked up to the living room and master bedroom tv's, and 1 HR24...

    AM21

    I've worked with the AM21 for 6 years in the MSP area, and it doesn't seem to matter which way you run them. As long as you actually run the setup with any zip codes you need to attain the channels you want to attain. So just run your home zip as primary and any other zip as secondary. Then if...

    AM21

    I'm in the MSP DMA and have worked with my HR24/AM21 for six years. Currently, I run 6-7 secondary zip codes to attain all the regular stations and the low power stations. Run Utica NY (13501) and Nashville TN (37201) as secondary zips first. Utica will give you 33.2 (Escape) and 33.3 (Laff)...

    New OTA adapter

    I've done extensive work with my AM21's. One on an HR24 and one on an HR44. Since the channel update (additions to the D* OTA database in May-July) my AM21's on both DVR's have obtained the added channels. So it seems to me the AM21 will do everything the new LCC will do. I just hope they update...

    New OTA adapter

    I think they did just fine by developing an OTA option this way. As far as being compatible with the HS17, (it can't be) because the HS17 was designed with NO OTA compatibility. So it would be difficult to make that so. As far as including an antenna goes, I'm sure they did that for someone who...

    22 and subs OTA am21 in Raleigh

    By running Seattle WA (98101) it will give you 22.2 and 22.3 KZJO from Seattle. With an ANTENNA TV guide on 22.3. Then run MPLS/STP (55401) to get 22.4 into you DVR. You have to run 2 secondary zips to get an Antenna TV guide on 22.3 and to get 22.4 to show up on your DVR/AM21. But this is the...

    Quick question on running 2 T.V.'s

    I've got an HR24 and an HR44 both in my living room. Both have an powered HDMI splitter hooked up to them and I use the component (blue,green,red cable) on each DVR. This means I have 6 TV hookups (3 from each DVR). The living room TV is hooked to both DVR's and I have 4 remote bedrooms hooked...

    The Official SatelliteGuys TV Repack Topic

    A question for somebody who knows? With 41 KPXM RF40 moving to RF16 in the repack in the MPLS/STP market. Does this mean the low power stations currently on RF16 (K16HY-D ST Paul) and RF17 (WUMN-LD Minneapolis) have to move to new RF channels to satisfy the repack? Also, when does low power 43...

    OTA channels on AM21

    Actually, one that "could" be added for the Detroit DMA is METV WDIV 4.3 RF45. The TMS-ID number on that channel is 40547 and is under the 65000 range limit on the database on the AM21. I don't know who you would contact to get it added to the database, maybe D* or probably better to contact the...

    DirecTV Off-Air Support

    Here is the best procedure you can try. Start by resetting the AM21 on the antenna setup on the DVR. Then do a double reboot by unplugging the DVR/AM21. A double reboot is attained by, unplugging the DVR and letting it reboot. And as soon as it's back from the first reboot unplug it and let it...

    DirecTV Off-Air Support

    You should receive all of the channels (that are in D* database for Casper) that your antenna receives, WITH the correct guide. If you are not, you must have bought a used AM21 and the former zips are causing you to get the wrong guides. It sounds like you have properly cleared the AM21, but the...

    DirecTV Off-Air Support

    I have my AM21 on an HR24 and every time the DVR reboots for that software update, the AM21 only retains the channels from the last 2 zip codes run (stored in the machine). That's why in the layout of zip codes in the previous post the last 2 zip codes run were the same as the first 2 run so...

    DirecTV Off-Air Support

    One thing to remember. When you have a software update or a power outage the AM21 will only re-initialize the 2 zip codes stored in the DVR/AM21. Basically the last 2 zip codes run in the last setup run. So remember the process and you will have to rerun these zip codes after a reboot, because...

    How many extra channels did you add to your AM21 in the Twin Cities, by running secondary zips?
