I am interested in an upgrade. I would like a member of the DIRT team too please PM me. Received a PM from Zach S with DIRT

thanks for all the advice guys! I will let you know once I get it up and running.

Good catch Iceberg. I hadn't noticed that 10 was VHF as well. Do you think there is any hope to getting the vhf channels indoors?

I tried a set of rabbit ears with a uhf receiver I had lying around the house and was able to get channels 4 and 14, but none of the others. Looks like maybe I need more juice than just that.

Are all those retractable rabbit ear antennas about the same? Will they grab UHF and VHF?

Iceberg, do you have a amplifier? What splitter do you use?

thanks for the help. I have a composition shingle roof. I also have cable run to all my televisions (4 in total). What kind of setup do you recommend for splitting this into either 2 or 4 rooms?

Do you think I would have any problems if I mounted this in the attic? Any chance that a smaller UHF antenna would bring in the two VHF channels?

Hey guys, I am looking for some help on choosing an antenna for my local digitals. I don't know much about antennas at all honestly. I know I have one VHF (7) and the rest are UHF. I would prefer to keep the antenna small if on the roof or maybe even stash it in the attic. Thanks in...

I have my locals, just not in HD

so what VHF frequencies can be picked up by a UHF antenna? And do you recommend a certain antenna? Thanks

Hey Guys, D* has recently turned on my locals (Amarillo, TX) in HD. I was curious is E* has any plans to do this. I have been with E* for a number of years and am no longer under contract. I don't want to lose the current dvr setup as I like it much better, but I am tired of no locals in...

thanks guys

Hey guys, I am an idiot with all this ota stuff. I was wondering if maybe you guys would give me some recommendations on what antenna to use for my location. I have tried a few different indoor antennas with no luck, so I am looking for an antenna for the attic if at all possible. Thanks in advance

I have tried component and it does the same thing. However, I can hook up my dvd player to the exact same inputs and the picture looks fine???????????? I am about to just learn to live with it I guess because I'm out of ideas.

i would assume that it was the tv as well, except for the fact that it doesn't do it on anything else that is hooked up to the tv such as dvd player.......

Just to clarify, the sidebars are not the typical hd channel sidebars i see. They are very small, like half an inch maybe. I will check and make sure it is set to HDTV when i get home from work, but I have a 622 in my living room that does not have the bars.....:confused: And i have noticed...

I am seeing this on pretty much all HD channels and a few sd channels as well. kvnfl, what did you mean by making sure it was in HDTV in installation? Is there another hdtv menu besides the menu where I set resolution and screen size?

my hdtv menu is set at 16 x 9 and 720p I am starting to wonder if it is the cable coming from the dish to this receiver. The cable in this room is from the original install over 12 years ago............

Hey guys, I just hooked up my new Sony KDL-37M4000 to my new VIP211. I have adjusted all the pictures settings on both the tv and the receiver but cannot get the hd to fill the screen. For some odd reason it is leaving about a half inch line on the left and right sides of the picture...

Thanks, it's good to be here. I can't get my locals OTA since I live down in a valley. I have tried quite a few different antennas with no luck.:(

Hey guys, I'm new here! I have been using this site forever to stay up to date on the dish hd news, but I finally joined today. I have yet to see anything about when I will receive my locals in hd in Canyon, TX (15 mi s of Amarillo). Anyone heard anything? I would sure love to have them for...
