    News Corp threatens to move Fox to cable-only channel if Aereo isn't shut down

    The most recent (unconfirmed) numbers I have seen are about 17% of all households with a TV are getting their signal via OTA. I am one of those, and very interested in this technology. Going to be interested to watch.

    Going OTA

    I can adjust it up/down more if needed. May give that a try.

    Going OTA

    Without the amp the numbers are much lower. Yep -- know that being outside would be the best of all worlds....

    Going OTA

    Channel Master 3418 - 8 port (for future expansion -- I could go to 6 total TVs now if I really wanted to).

    Going OTA

    Some questions and looking for input/advice. Today I got the new distribution amp (Channel Master 3418) to hook up the remaining TVs. I have a total of 3 working at the moment and soon will be 4. The antenna (HBU33) is mounted in the attic and pointed at 41 degrees (mag). The direction it is...

    Going OTA

    Got the HBU33 setup today. Easy t put together and mount in the attic. Went from 19 channels with so-so reception to 60 channels with great reception on most of them. Glad I made the choice I did. Very happy.

    Going OTA

    Thanks for the input...based on what I have seen/read/been recommended, I will be going with the HBU33.

    Going OTA

    So last week I finally made the decision to go OTA and ditch Satellite after 12 years. To test it out I bought a basic indoor rabbit ears antenna and was surprised at how well they worked. But is very sensitive to weather. So I want to get a more robust antenna (and anything else recommended)...

    Seriously disappointed in Value Electronics...

    Just to complete the circle for this thread...the replacement R15 arrived as informed on Friday, and was BRAND NEW this time....worked out of the box and she is online and going. Even though it was unfortuante and disappointing that this happened, and hope they can work on not having this...

    Seriously disappointed in Value Electronics...

    I disagree with premature....issues like this need to be out in the open to be heard. It is by no means an attack on anyone, but a description of what occured and a way to do better business. I said I was disappointed, not boycotting anyone or getting all huffy about anything, just disappointed.

    Seriously disappointed in Value Electronics...

    The way they have dealt with this issue is first class. I hope I did convey that at the end of my message that they were fixing the issue. I just hope that they can improve on not allowing a previously opened item to go out...but I do understand things happen..... and it was just a message...

    Seriously disappointed in Value Electronics...

    This one came dirctly from VE. The replacement which will be here today is from another location.

    Seriously disappointed in Value Electronics...

    Its a shame that this has happened.....I ordered an R15 from Value Electronics last week and it arrived today. Super....this was going to be on a secondary TV to get use to it as they improve and fix some of the issue... PROBLEM: When I open the box right away it is obvious that this was...

    ‘DirecTV Plus’ DVR Hits Stores

    Not in the Best Buys down here. Was in one yesterday and they had the R10, but not the R15. Said they don't know when they will see them either. I wasn't looking necessarily to buy, just killing time while the wife was out doing her thing. I will likely do it through Robert at Value...

    HD LiL for Atlanta set for Nov. 22?

    A side question to this....currently you cannot get the locals in HD nor with Dolby SS 5.1. Does this upgrade (when implemented) mean the SS will now function? If so, will it only work with a HD box?

    XM Music and DVR

    Interesting...I have not tried to record anything with the UTV yet on the new XM channels....will have to see if I can do anything with them tonight.... Sometimes I woudl like to be able to backup and hear it again or pause it so someone else can in a minute or two.

    Please Help ... R15 + FF = Problems

    I am still using a UTV, and love that 30 sec skip ahead...but could get use to living without it...but they need some kind of way to make it a bit easier than having to dump out and jump back to get to the start of the scene.

    XM has started

    Now the search for the channels I liked before starts again....not having XM previously I really dont know much about their offerings but woudl assume they have comparable (if not better) channels. Just hope I can get channels like the old MC 815, 818 and 819 like channels again.

    NFL Football Now ala cart...

    This is what I woudl prefer....just buy a season pass for a specific team. I really don't need all the games. I just need my team.

    Directv DVR

    TRUE! I still have an UltimateTV (and love it), but will likely replace it a few months after the R15s come out (and I get really see how it works).

    Rumor True! XM Is Coming To Directv!

    Pretty cool. Looking forward to this......wish they would let us have the online listening too.....

    NBC quits screwing PVR owners

    Good....it was an annoying practice and really messed with DVR folks when conflicts came up.

    Problems with Dual Tuner PIP

    This is why I still have it too. I am amazed that the other dual turner DVRs did not go with built-in PIP. It is an awesome feature of UltimateTV.

    Anyone else have problems getting DirecTV to come out?

    I just moved 3 weeks ago, and had no issues with our local guys. They were there the day/time and got it all going without any issues.
