    Recording OTA w/TIVO?

    Just an update, I decided to get the Tivo Premier last week and actually love it. It works great with my OTA set up and appears to work well with my computer set up. It will take a while to get use to all the possibilities it has, a learning curve for me. It is a great unit - only wish I had...

    Recording OTA w/TIVO?

    Let me start by saying I cut the cord and went to OTA without any regrets (but don't ask my wife). I also have the Apple TV-2 and a Roku unit. Now my questions: 1) Is TIVO my best (least expensive) option for recording OTA? I do not want to spend ALLOT of money, but want something decent -...

    Best Medium Directional Antenna for 1st floor of apartment complex

    Hello, I use the Antennas Direct Clearstream 2 connected to my 2nd floor balcony and it works very well. I am about 30 or so miles west of Chicago and I pull in about 42 channels. I had to really fine tune the direction I pointed it to get channel 2, but all the channels look great. I did...

    OTA and Power Inserter?

    Thanks for the replies. I have no idea what it is used for (except with my old DTV setup). I was just thinking it was some kind of signal booster or similar and it would improve "something". Thanks again....

    OTA and Power Inserter?

    This might be a totally silly sounding question, but here goes. I recently cut the cord - now I just have OTA and loving the the extra money. Although I get good signal, I had some extra time on my hands and began thinking. I had DTV and have the power inserter from the slimline I had and was...

    Before I call, I need advice...

    Due to a recent injury, my finances will be cut due to Short Term Disability - and knowing the economy, that puts my job in jeopardy. Knowing this, I need to cut costs. Couple of questions for the experts: 1) I started DTV in 11/08 - I have a DVR in one room and a standard receiver in another...

    HTC Fuze or iPhone???

    I phone hands down. Much easier to use than any other phone. I have had them all and wish I would have gotten the iPhone much earlier. My advice, try it for a few weeks (restocking of 10%) if ya don;t like it. I bet you will!

    Cold Weather loss of service.

    When Care Management called me yesterday, it was shortly after the sun came up and warmed up the LNB - it was working. They gave me a special number to all and said when it happens again, call them. I am thinking they knew the weather would warm up a bit, and it did. No issues here since...

    American Idol Picture Quality

    I live in Chicago area and I noticed frequent pixilation problem. My wife even commented on it. At one point we changed channels to see if it was all over, but it was (seemed) isolated to just channel 32 (Fox). I hope this clears up.... Before and after Idol, all was normal -
