    OTA Recorder

    Yes, I did forgot to mention that series does have 4 tuners AND w/ a optional 'Mini' you can have a DVR in another room using one of those tuners as a stand-alone device as long as you have a Cat 5/6 cable connection to/from the Mini. I have two of them.

    Scripps News shutting down OTA 'after' November 15th

    Scripps News was my go to, default channel I had my 'tuners' parked on. Their news was factual and not cheap opinion based like 4 'other' so-called 'news' stations that were all extremists hate filled opinions. Not just opinion, it's fact ! AFAIC, is dead in the water. The Golden Age of HDTV...

    New Construction Attic Antenna Concerns

    I wouldn't live anywhere that didn't have a full basement or a full attic, NOT a useless 'crawl space' that doesn't have a full stairs thru a actual door. BTW, antennas are beautiful things !!!

    OTA Recorder

    To update the above, I don't like monopolies, ESPECIALLY when they own almost all the patents to a specific device, in this case DVR's. Which is why there aren't any other true one piece (all in one)TV DVR's available new anymore. Note I stated "all in one". All the others , you need one or more...

    OTA Recorder

    I have 'time-shifted' ever since 1978. I wouldn't be w/o it. From VHS, S-VHS, then HDD's starting with the DVR Sony had before they dropped the Guide, basically making that useless. I did have a CATV DVR for a very short period of time, but I didn't like not having the ability to bypass/lockout...

    How many 'tuners (TV's DVR's etc) do you have in your system? Try another location.

    Then you are 'viewing' those recordings from the DVR on your PC?

    OTA Recorder

    Not to get too far OT, the price difference between the Roamio OTA and the Premier version is over 2x between the two. There is a Premier going for $70 w/ service now, which is insane, making it a 'steal'! There are 3 OTA Roamio's w/ service going for around $350 now. The CATV version of the...

    OTA Recorder

    Interesting, I was wondering exactly what those letters meant, thou some time back I vaguely remember something about them. Have you tried directly transferring them via Ethernet w/o that program? If you know the address of the TiVo (I always set it to static in my Network for everything so I...

    OTA Recorder

    Are you sure about not being able to xfer recordings from a Premier to a PC? I would swear that I did when I had one. :imshocked And yes, the Series 3HD did have their best tuner over all the ones to follow, due to handling multipath issues better.

    OTA Recorder

    I have seen little difference between any TiVo I've had and any other 'tuner' (TV or otherwise) AFA number of channels they receive over the years. Probably/ possibly THAT specific unit or just the Bolt series, which I wouldn't touch in the first place, especially with that ridiculous design. .

    OTA Recorder

    I've owned and setup Tivo's for others for over 15 years and everyone I bought was used! That is inspite of the fact I have little good to say about the company and less with the company that bought them out a few years ago with all of their patents (which is why there are no other true "DVR's"...

    AFA ATSC3; that is as dead as analog TV. It's the "AM Stereo" of the 21st century !

    OTA Recorder

    Not yet, as long as TiVo's Guide service is good, so will the DVR. BUT, forget a DVR for CATV with Cable Cards, many/most MSO's are not supplying them anymore.

    Say goodbye to ATSC 3.0. LG has suspended inclusion of ATSC 3.0-compatibility in its 2024 television lineup for the USA

    It's refreshing for a change that someone from this younger generation is waking up to reality, this hyped/marketing tool ATSC3 is a flop. Period. And as usual, you can thank the FCC (among others) for the fiasco. :rolleyes:

    Televes Avant-X Programmable 4 input distribution amp

    Long story short; After having a long and productive telephone conversation with Dylan from 'WNY Over The Air' regarding other matters and then this product and the detailed, documented problems with the unit I had (it was returned). We came to the conclusion it was this specific unit that had...

    Televes preamp synopsis

    Ok. I'm surprised it doesn't have both 8VSB & QAM. Come to think about it, since it apparently has a OTA channel table/map, one would logically figure it would have that function.

    OTA Signal Meter

    My replacement for my long standing, go-to SLM is one from Applied Instruments XR-3. Not cheap. but not real expensive, especially if you can find a buy on eBay. Those I have see have the satellite module installed that you can sell separately, then purchase new, the OTA module to save some $$...

    OTA Signal Meter

    It looks like a remote control for a garage door opener. :rolleyes :wtf2 What's with the 800MHz coverage?? Is it testing TV or annoying toy phone frequencies? It's using the uncommom dBm instead of dBmV which most SLM's historically have used. (notice the reviews are all 5 star) And; where is...

    Televes Avant-X Programmable 4 input distribution amp

    The preamp power is switchable. Take a look at my guide and the input table channel assignments. AFA experiance with preamps, I've never used any since I'm not a beleivere in them due to overload issues with strong signals. My runs from the antennas are shorter than 25' before they get to where...

    Televes Avant-X Programmable 4 input distribution amp

    To add to the above post and clarify further; From my experience tiring different DA's (distribution maps) in place of my long term Winegard DA1018 DA (18db gain, adjustable), for example, Winegard's 36db version was way too much to handle the excessively strong signals that I have had to deal...

    Televes Avant-X Programmable 4 input distribution amp

    1. Filter bandwidth: The Avant-X is based on European TV channels which is 8 MHz derived from PAL & SECAM systems (with some being 7 MHz). This can cause problems with adjacent channels here that are overpowering the wanted channel due to (what I call) 'leftovers' that aren't attenuated...
