what's ota mean?

...in my bedroom i have an HR20 and its got plenty enough drive space, but i want the ability to record/pause/rewind in the living room too, so im wondering what box model i should look to buy, maybe e on eBay? Keeping it cheap would be nice. Also, just out of curiosity, is there any way to move...

alright i got it pointed again,.. maybe this mornings clear weather helped but i also tuned the specifically to sat 103 (c) and made sure that was in to around 80%,.. then i kept moving the dish back a few inches at a time, checking the signal strength till the overhang of the porch started...

If it's an LNB issue why would the above listed channels go out only when the dish is out of alignment? I agree an aiming issue, but how do i aim it better? I'm set at 144, 45 and 108 degrees. How can one fine tune it for the sats not getting signal more then that?

i just checked the 480-484 channels and im not getting any of them. 480 says: Correct HD Dish setup. 103 B-Band Odd. (13V) 481 says: searching for signal on sat in 2 (771) 482 says: Correct HD Dish setup. 99 B-Band Odd. (13V) 483 says: Correct HD Dish setup. 99 B-Band Even. (18V) no channel 484...

get: 201, 204, 205, 206, 208, 209, 213, 218, 219, 231, 241, 242 not getting: 202, 207, 212,... 210 & 211 but it says 'to be announced' not 771 though,... no 217, 229 Some of those weren't HD channels but still i think you get the idea.

I have a HR20 and an H20 box running off that dish, nothing else. I don't know what BBC's means and I've ran through the setup and reset the boxes too. I'd think everything is set right in the setting cuz like i said most the time i get all the channels just fine. Here are pics of the sats u...

I live in a condo complex and the HOA wont let us mouth anything to the building. I'll be damned if im going without the NFL Sunday Package though so i mounted my HD dish into a cinder block, and the block into a drain pan of a big old plant pot, and cemented the whole damn thing solid as a...

Sorry for the confusing title, i didn't think of it that way when I wrote it. There just the cheapest of boxes, no DVR or HD so I wouldn't think they would have to be returned. Does DTV want the cheap boxes back? Also i know this person is no longer under contract with DTV, they have fulfilled...

So last week I bought 4 DTv boxes from someone and this persons DTv service is still active. There on vacation now, have yet to call and cancel it, and wont be back for 2 weeks. For me to put my DTv cards in these boxes and get service to them will the previous owner have to call and cancel his...
