is this the right gadget to connect the wireless internet to the hr20 for vod. A wired internet connection would be difficult Linksys - 802.11g Wireless Gaming Adapter - WGA54G if not point me in the right direction

you can use a cable modem based phone system with directv. you would just disconnect/cancel the cable tv service portion, use the existing phone system/lines, and connect a phone line to the directv unit. not an issue. I use time warner for phone, verizon fios for internet. If the cable...

If you are -getting a decent sat signal 85-100 -ch 480 and 481 is successful -you have the right multiswitch -you are not diplexing ota -all connectors fully tightened logically the only issue left is the link between the unit , the cable and the tv (if ch 480 and 481 work), and the tv...

no new channels here at 6:30 am

I noticed the exact same thing with our 2 hr20-100's the last week or so. the picture would lock. Resetting the unit seems to correct it for a day or so and it happens again. Wonder if it is new software version related.

These types of threads are starting to get rather old. do you want to revisit the antenna issue again in 2009? The stations in question are going to vhf in 2009 according to fcc records. Do you want a little cushion and the best signal possible? Do you want to screw around and/or become...

the cm 4221 is not typically suggested for hi band vhf use. if you take that chance, the conditions are just right, and it works you lucked out. but for internet advice, I prefer to advise on the cm4228 since most want to purchase just one antenna and not be stuck with one if the antenna does...

The gain for hi band vhf on the cm4221 is -18 to 0 dbd. For hi band vhf purchase the cm4228...end of story. You should know better by now!!! WTF

there are no quarantees for 70+ miles so you will need the best choices of antennas and as much height as possible. separates will outperform combos Therefore disagree with the antenna choices so far. uhf KFOR-DT 4.1 NBC OKLAHOMA CITY OK 40° 6.0 27 uhf KWTV-DT 9.1 CBS OKLAHOMA CITY...

I had 2 hr20's installed saturday afternoon as part of an upgrade at my home. I stumbled across this thread and updated the softwore on both units about midnight last night. to my surprise one was a 100 and the other was a 700. everything downloaded and upgraded fine. I noticed 1 thing...

the LG DR787T has a digital tuner but will not output 720p and 1080i hd but down converts to 480i/480p. I almost purchased one till I read the fine print. so avoid it if you are looking for hd.

You need to first determine if you actually have multipath, need to make sure your antenna is properly aimed, and be aware of the fact that it may be a challenge to find a sweetspot (antenna aimed down the middle so to speak) reception wise with your current antenna. multipath diagnosis...

the antenna is a multidirectional, really can not be aimed to tame multipath or peak signal, the amp has a tadd bit too high gain, and does a poor job taming multipath. the dish 622 has a very tempermental ota tuner, diplexing signal with that unit is problematic at times, and a marginal...

the 91xg should perform better on uhf than the radio shack by a few db. keep in mind, with overload (from too high amp gain) your aim may be off because the signal level can go up when you aim away from the towers and go down when you aim towards the tower. therefore your bearing can get all...

your results are puzzling. the 91xg has more gain on uhf than the vu 190. the 91 xg out performs the uhf on my hd8200p and even did better on some channels than the cm4228 when I compared antennas last year. -check inside the connectors to make sure the braid is not wrapped around the...
