While all the stations are located on South Mountain, I'm in north Phoenix, about 30 miles from there. Also, one of the channels I want the most is technically a low power station (although it is as powerful as a low power station can be...). So back to my original question, can I run the pre...

OK, I know with a diplexer(?) it will work, but the potential fly in the ointment is my OTA antenna is the Channel Master Stealthtenna 3010 w/pre amp (yes I need the amplifier). The power block for the pre amp is rated at 18VDC 70mA. How will that work or will/can it work? I don't think the LNB...

Thanks so much for your help, Brian! So the only FTA HD channels are the PBS channels on AMC 21? That's all I see on a "master channel list" here, at FTAlist.com

So in simple terms that I understand, are you saying that they are sending a HD signal up to the satellite, but a SD signal is coming back down? Thanks for helping me figure this out.

Well, this post started by HDRoberts titled List of HD Channels Not Available on Dish Network: Version 3 could of course be incorrect, but I don't think so. So with this info, can someone with more expertise than me, which is just about all of you LOL, find out if these channels (3ABN and...

I am currently running a 2 room SD system purchased through Glorystar pointed at G-19. I would like to know if A: 2 of my favorite channels, 3ABN and Aljazeera, both of which I believe are available in HD, have their HD feeds on G-19? B: If so, can I just add a HD receiver to my 30" dish...

...or get an Ooma and blacklist the number.

SWEET!!! I'll try it when I get home. Perhaps someone ought to inform the CSR's about this. They are the ones that told me, on more than one occasion, there was no way to directly access sub channels. They told me the only was to go to the primary channel and use the up arrow to access -2, -3...

Still no way to enter a -2, -3, -4 etc for those of us with OTA local sub channels. Go figure....

I want the caller ID function. Will I be able to use the caller ID and connect by cat5 to avoid it trying some 48+ times a day to connect to D*, like the H20 did, with model H21 or newer?

You may well be correct, but a CSR at D* recently told me that the AM21 would only work with the HR21, not the H21. I am familiar with the H20 model, but was told it is being phased out and would be exteemly unlikely to get the 3 of them I would need for my home. The H20 also tries continuesly...

Is this thread for DVR receivers only? If not, I have no local info, 'Digital Service' only, for any Phoenix, AZ channels (VIP211k & VIP222k receivers). 3-01 KTVK Ind 3-02 This TV 5-01 KPHO CBS 5-02 Weather 8-01 KAET PBS 8-02 Create 8-03 World 8-04 KBAQ 10-01 KSAZ Fox 12-01 KPNX NBC 12-02...

Is there any thing in the DirecTV reciever pipeline that will allow OTA hook up into the reciever (I know about the adapter for the DRV reciever, but am not interested in a DVR)? Thanks in advance. Tom

I called Dish last month to complain about the $5 a month subscription increase. The CSR told me that while there was a price increase, that it was offset by the free movie channels they were giving free for 12 months. I told him that I wanted that (movie channels) offer turned off so that I...

FYI, Al Jazeera English is available FTA on Galaxy 19. I prefer it to CNN for international news stories. Count me +1 for an international news pkg. I do miss BBC World News as well as CNN International.
