Major +1 to this. Drives me nuts! I hate not being able to pause live TV immediately after finishing a DVR recording. I'm starting to get used to having to hit the red button to delete, but I don't like the extra confirmation step. Double dash was so much easier.

I have an HR20 with an OTA tuner hooked up. I don't understand why I can't record 2 channels and watch another off the tuner. I assume it's the same with the HR21. If it's a seperate tuner, why does it restrict it? Now I'm thinking of just hooking it straight up to the TV.

If you are not under contract anymore, it's easy to get one free. I got one free just the other day, as well as a promise that if I order a second box, I can get another for free. As it turns out, the installer wasn't able to get the HR22 to activate, and so I ended up just keeping my HR20...

When I eventually sell the house I'm thinking buyers would consider it an eyesore (most people seem to nowadays). If I removed it before putting it on the market, is it easy to fill in the holes ? I'm thinking filling the holes with tar would be noticeable from the street. And laying new...

It just reminds me of a skylight. It seems no matter how much you caulk or tar they always leak. Do tripods have the same tendency?

I suppose I can get that at an electrical supply? the thing about a few feet to the left is that the window doesn't leave much room for mounting. Also, if I'm going to have to mount 2x4's against the house, it will look ugly right on the front like that. If that's how I need to do it, and the...

The mast I bought at radio shack is only 5' because that's what the girl at solidsignal recommended when I bought the antenna. The only other one they sell is 10'. If I'm going to put 2x4's on the side of the house, it's starting to sound like the chimney would be best (the backside facing the...

I've read chimney mounts should be done on a 10' mast is this correct? I'd consider either method, although I could use some suggestions on how I would mount it in your second suggestion, because I don't believe the ones I posted a snapshot of (which I have) would do it in that case, unless I...

Thanks. Some of the terminology and concepts are a little beyond my current level of comprehension, however it's something I'm very interested in learning about. I've decided to put the antenna up on the opposite side of the house, away from the power lines, even though it will be facing...

Wow I never realized that. I assumed that would introduce some kind of interference. It's amazing how much electricians and installers don't know or don't care. One electrician recently told me it's best to leave it off the main ground and use it's own because the power company might not like...

Anyone?

bump?

OK so basically I'm fine. I can put it where I intended. Also, I was going to tie a ground wire around the mast and run it along with the DB6 coax. Now the main service ground is directly below where the antenna is going to be, but the coax is going to come down past it and wrap around the...

I hadn't even considered this would be an issue, to be honest, but there was a big warning paper included in the box of my new Winegard 7694 antenna not to put it near power lines. In fact it says it should be double the distance of the antenna plus the distance of the mast away from the lines...
