    what if I move and trees block signal?

    I just sold my house and our new place has tall trees around. If I utilize the "movers" deal and I can't get a clear signal, am I just out of luck? I have about another year left on a 2yr commit.

    OTA HD box and Tivo hook-up, pic quality question

    I'm looking into getting DirecTV with Tivo. I'd like to hook up an OTA HD box for local HD. My question is can I hook this up to record these channels (obviously not in HD). I suppose to get my HD I'd have to hook into another input on my TV. Has anyone here done this? If the picture quality...

    New house wiring questions and "OTA-only" 811

    I am building my wife a new house, and I want to plan on the wiring. Here's what I'd like to have: 4 TVs, one of which would be a PVR. I'd also like to hook up my 811 in the room with the PVR to 'see' the signal but only so I can use it for local HD. The dual tuner models seem to save you...

    I just got my 811 receiver and I can't get the remote to work my Onkyo receiver. The manual doesn't list a code and the search function didn't work. Can anyone help? Are there more codes out there that could get it to work?
