I'm in the same boat here in Wallingford. I've had pretty good luck using the CM4228 pointed generally North and pick up ABC/WB off the other side of the CM4288. No probs with ABC and a few minimal breakups with WB. Not bad when you consider the CM4228 is a "UHF-only" antenna..... I'm not...

Therefore, I guess the whole topic of "moving" to another location to pick up local HD channels is a dead issue at this time for those with HR10-250 receiving the Mpeg2 signals (without going for the distant network waivers). Correct ? I wonder where I'd have to "move" to in order to receive...

Scott, Thanks for the concise explanation - it was quite informative. :up Going along with the thinking about where to "move" if I wanted to receive local HD programming thru the dish rather than my touchy antenna, is the only real option moving to a location covered by the NY DMA ? It...

Hard to believe that D* would p@ss off all the HR10-250 owners in the greater Boston area by basically rendering their HD DVR useless for HD Locals.

Now I'm getting a little baffled. So, if I "move" to Boston, my HR10-250 will pick up the MPEG2 Channel 95, but no other HD channels from Boston ? I've got to imagine that not everyone in the greater Boston area has moved from the HR10-250's to the H20's. Therefore, I would assume that they...

What a shame. The D* Rep I just spoke to had told me that when I "moved" to Boston, I wouldn't need a new dish or new equipment to pick get HD. According to the rep, my old equipment (HR10-250) would work fine and pick up all Boston HD Local channels.

Damn. That's what I was worried about. I wonder if I would receive Boston HD locals over the Dish with the HR10-250, or since they've probably been switched over to Mpeg4, I may be out of luck with that as well ???

Quick question (sorry if it's been answered already). If I "move" my servicing address to my brother's place outside Boston, will I then start picking up the other Boston HD stations (other than NESN) on my HR10-250 ? I'm wondering if I'd get the best of both worlds, HD Boston over the dish and...

Just be careful with the Oppo. Depending on which display you have, macroblocking can be quite bad. I can vouch for mixing the Oppo with a Samsung HLR-5067W - the results were catastrophic. Before all the flames begin, I've already had the display ISF calibrated, so the issue isn't at the...

Did you make this resolution setting on the HR10-250 ? If so, where is that menu option ? Thanks.

Yep, no such luck. Just got off the phone with Samsung Tech Support and they clearly knew about this and stated that if you select the Dolby Digital Out option on your HR10-250, the Samsung DLP cannot "down-code" the 5.1 dolby digital to output to the tv speakers.

Hi all, Hooked up my new HR10 to my new Samsung DLP HLR5067W TV via the HDMI cable. The good news is that the picture is stunning, however, in the HR10 menu I set the Audio option to play & record in Dolby Digital when available. When I turn this option on, all video/audio on Standard non-HD...

The ChannelMaster antenna receives signals from both sides, which theoretically should work out great here as my UHF and VHF signal are almost 180 degrees apart. I'm wondering if perhaps I need an attenuator (?!?!) Installed my OTA UHF/VHF antenna w/pre-amp and receive all UHF channells 20...

I'm at work right now, so I don't have the exact models, but I believe : ChannelMaster 3010 StealthAntenna UHF/VHF Winegard UHF Mast-mounted Amp w/ VHF Pass-through

Today was the day when I finally hooked up my ChannelMaster antenna, Winegard amp and optimized my signal strength via antenna location. Good news first : Using the Winegard UHF amp (with VHF passthru), NBC & Fox in Hartford to the North of me come in great. The amp boosted the signal from...
