Thanks for the info so far. At least I know I have it aimed correctly. I did take my time using the fine screws while the wife watched the meters in the house. And I was already thinking of upgrading the LNB to the SWM version as it is very old, I put that dish up in replacement of the old sd...

Hiya, I've done a lot of skim reading on the subject, talking about apps and all the rough alignment procedures. I've done that, the mount is completely plumb, used a pipe level, no trees obstructing, and believe I'm getting decent signal. But.. I still get skips on channels that bring up signal...

Oh, very nice. Thanks for the info. :)

Hi, I think my HR24 had an update last night. Over the weekend, it was acting extra sluggish in playback and even having some erratic behavior doing forward/back scan thru recordings. Usually means it's holding downloaded data for an update. It's acting extra responsive today, and one thing...

What DirecTV needs to do now is make people more aware of Weather Nation. Put it in those obnoxious ad bars on the grid.

I've been running into more and more scheduler conflicts due to shows that are purposely scheduled a minute over/under, is this some kind of trick to purposely defeat dvring? Other than Manual, I don't see a way to schedule a show 1 minute under to series record, am I missing anything else?

Unfortunately my opinion is don't take that one as written in stone. :( Hope I'm proven wrong. They replaced the morning radio guy at WGN radio not that long ago. After giving him a multi year contract, and they tossed him a very short time after he bought a house here. What the money people do...

Enjoy. Having lived right down Addison for 24 years I've been to games, but really don't watch it on tv, Hawks fan, myself. For a lot of locals, they treat the place as Club Wrigley, and could care less how the actual game went. :/ Good to see there's still enthusiasm for it. It's been pretty...

WGN 9 local is back on. Wonder if MLB had any influence...

Looks? IS. And has been for a good long time now. The whole bankruptcy thing has only made a really bad situation even worse over there. Now you've got people at Tribune who are going in two different directions at the same time. Some who still seem to be doing negotiations in a sloppy...

It's Tribune, 'odd' is pretty much the normal operating day for them. They've already fully screwed up what used to be the untouchable radio station in the Chicago area, a newspaper that is a shade of its former self, and they're running the tv local in a similar direction, and now this mess... :/

IF they could figure out how, I'm sure they'd do that too, lol.

+1 HR24, lags really bad pulling up the guide, sometimes changing channels. Also on national release, have never done the ce's. 89% free. Rebooting the box has no apparent effect. Had a thought it might be doing something in the background? Either active or is downloading, eating up it's own...

You probably can't just plug in the antenna. Look first if it has an actual antenna in, a few models actually did. For most models, the AM-21 tuner is an extra piece of hardware you probably need to get from DirecTV to be able to run the OTA through your DVR if it isn't already capable. It works...

One self-correction I would make, is back then the Comcast I'm referring to was called AT&T Broadband, before Comcast swooped in and locked up most of the area buying them and the other smaller providers. More info for you, going further back than 2009: Chicagoland Television - Wikipedia...
