    Tonight's House episode had so many long audio dropouts that I could barely keep up with the plot. I am beginning to get paranoid and wonder if this may be D*'s way of making us dissatisfied with our HR10-250's and encouraging us to go to the new piece of sh*t HR20-700 that doesn't work either...

    HR10-250 OTA signal meters

    The OTA signal meters on the HR10-250 show bars for ant in tuner 1 and ant in tuner 2, although there is only one antenna connection. With only one antenna, how come there is often 2 different signal levels shown? Also, when tuned to a channel, are both tuners signal for the same channel? On...

    The dtc 210 system setup audio option digital decoding mode: audio out has two options - audip out and tv out. The manual makes no mention of these and they don't seem to make a difference. Does anyone know (without speculating) what they are for?
