It looks like a compression-type connector, but I'm not sure what kind of compression tool it will require to secure it in place.

Accessing an HR34 tuner at the remote tv's using the new C31 client devices is the only way for getting my desired AM21N OTA stations to pass through to the remote tv's, which doesn't happen now when H25's are used, so I'm anxiously awaiting the C31's.

Using RG-11 is definitely worth it, especially for longer coax runs. Preserving the maximum amount of the original signal strength allows you to split the signal unamplified and also maximizes the signal level at the receiver in rain fade situations. I use these tools and connectors: SNS11AS...

Is your AM21 and/or your HR23 and/or your SWM power pack plugged into any kind of switched power outlet (such as through a power center/conditioner/surge suppressor) that is only powered when your tv power is also on? That's one thing I can think of that might shut off power to the AM21 and/or...

I thought it was a condition of the Comcast-NBC merger that Comcast had to offer CSN Philly to the satellite companies at a "reasonable" or "competitive" price. If the offered price was thought by the satellite companies to be either unreasonable or not in line with other similar sports...

If you are not currently using your AM21's secondary zip code entry for receiving stations from a second city/market/DMA, you can use a second zip code (from somewhere else in the country) having a station whose real and virtual channel numbers match those of the station you are trying to...

Jeff: Do you have programming data for both sets of the 8-1, 8-2 and 8-3 channels in your on-screen guide, or just for one set (with the other set saying something like "Regular Programming")?

DirecTV has them in stock. I ordered one last night, and the website says it has shipped already.

My AM21 gradually lost sensitivity over time (with both the signal strength numbers and the ability of the AM21 to receive stations gradually decreasing), to the point where I had to replace it. At first, I lost my distant channels that were 50-65 miles away. Then, I lost another station 25...

I don't care for it much either. Too much clutter, and not in a place I want it shown every time I change channels. Any way to turn the new menus off?

I have an AM21, and I find it quite useful. Assuming you have decent antenna reception of over-the-air stations in your area, it provides HD reception for any local stations where DirecTV only provides them in SD via satellite, or doesn't provide them at all. It also serves as a backup reception...

I'm also frustrated with the AM21's design. I get stations from 4 different DMAs (and sometimes a 5th at night) with an antenna on a rotor, so with the design limit of two DMAs (zip codes), I can't see anywhere near all of them with my DirecTV equipment. Wondering why they didn't either allow up...

From my testing at my location (which is fairly flat, without any huge trees immediately nearby), a Winegard YA-1713 (for VHF-high) and an Antennas Direct 91XG (for UHF) will receive most stations down to about -9.0dB NM (sometimes even a little lower) on my TVFool report with no amplifier, if...

This is exactly what I plan to do when I add a bedroom tv shortly. The total connection distance would probably be 20-25 feet, directly underneath through the basement ceiling. I've heard that HDMI cables are more sensitive to losing signal over distance, so based on that, I thought I'd keep the...

dcwebman: The 4228 often works fine on upper VHF channels 7-13. If your 11.1 is coming in on one DVR but not the other, you must be getting adequate signal from the station, but your signal distribution is somehow flawed in your system. Try to isolate the problem by temporarily trying a few...

What about using an adjacent channel bandpass filter from TinLee? It would be more expensive, but might work better than a Jointenna. Perhaps you could call them and ask if it would work for your purpose... Tin Lee Electronics :: Bandpass Filters Tin Lee Electronics :: Bandpass Filters

I have the same problem with the AM21 (I actually get signals from 4 markets). Unfortunately, the AM21 was not designed to retain station information from more than 2 markets. Maybe if enough people post messages like this, they'll provide a firmware update for the AM21 to allow up to 4 zip...

I had some wet snow collecting on my dish this weekend, which caused my signal to go out as well. Tied an old lightweight car snow brush (cheap thin wooden stick type) onto the end of one of those telescoping extendable poles (it's about 7 feet long or so, probably from Home Depot), extended it...

Is yours a full-HD setup, where the DirecTV receiver is HD-capable and both tv's are HDTVs? If so, I'm currently considering the same thing. Supposedly, the DirecTV HD receivers output from all connections simultaneously. I use an HDMI cable to my main tv and I thought I would run a component...

You can pick up an AM21 over-the-air receiver from DirecTV for $50, attach it to your HR21 (if you have that receiver) and connect a good antenna pointed toward Philly to the AM21. The over-the-air channels coming from the AM21 integrate into the on-screen channel menu from the HR21 - works...

Posted this elsewhere, e-mailed DirecTv, and called DirecTv; never got a response. I have an AM21 OTA receiver, and I get OTA digital channels clearly from 3 different cities/markets when rotating the antenna. A scan alone is useless for me; it will never get all channels at once. The AM21...

I'm also a Phillies fan, and it appears that MLBEI does not have agreements in place to carry the season opener on CBS-3 (every year), games shown on WPSG CW-57 (including every Sunday afternoon) or CN8 (occasionally, when 76ers/Flyers are also in season). Therefore, only Phillies' broadcasts...

Hi All - Posted this question on the D* forum, but got no response, so I thought I'd try here... Just set up my new AM21 OTA receiver atop my HR21 receiver. I get OTA digital channels clearly from 3 different cities/markets when rotating the antenna. From reviewing info on the AM21, I...

I'll be interested in doing the same thing. Total wiring distance from the HR21/AM21 to the second (SD) tv (in an adjacent room) would be no more than about 25 feet, through the basement underneath. Video input options for my second tv would only be RF, s-video and composite. If I used s-video...

Hi All: Just got my first HDTV (Sharp Aquos 94 Series), and in checking its internal over-the-air tuner while connected to an antenna, I noticed the following digital tuner sensitivity for several distant stations based on the set's signal strength meter (which fluctuates somewhat for each...
