Just today most of my HD channels have audio only, no video. Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

Excellent, thank you. I wish I could sneak it over to the parent's house and check it out before Christmas. :) I'm probably more excited than they are lol.

Actually, I'm incorrect. It's not component, it's AV. I don't have a component cable it seems... so maybe the AV is not very good quality and once we move to Component or DVI, it'll be a lot better.

I bought a Samsung SIR-TS160 from Ebay for OTA only HDTV for my folks. I hooked it up to my own Vizio Plasma via component, just to check it out. It finds the OTA stations just fine, and even gives me some limited guide data. My TV doesn't have a DVI input, so I'm using component for now. The...

I agree. :p I think it's a scam. 'Course I still pay for it.

Excellent, that's the model I'm interested in. No access card, and no dish. Just want it for OTA signals.

Oh that is excellent, thanks for those articles! I will forward for my Dad to read too. :)

So these old DTV boxes can pick up OTA without an access card, right?

Ah thank you for the info!

Okay thanks. I made of list of features I want and what is HD, and feel better now. Bid on a couple. :)

For some reason I'm really nervous about buying a cheap tuner... Will the ones labeled as 'cable box' pick up OTA signals? It has to have an ATSC tuner to do so, doesn't it? The old DirecTV and Voom boxes are okay as long as they have the ATSC tuner...? Thanks. :p I just want something for...

Thank you I'll check my settings when I get home.

Excellent thank you. Now to find a tuner for them...

ooo Okay, I didn't think of the two tuners as opposed to TV1 and TV2. That clears it up. I'm thinking the little picture of the TV is telling me if it will record on TV1 or TV2, and the round picture is the tuner. That actually helps a lot. :) Thank you. I will look again tonight at the TV...

I just got a new 42" Plasma and HD programming and I love it. Before I upgraded Dish Network we just had it hooked up OTA and got some really nice local stations. So I've been thinking about Christmas... my Dad has a Toshiba 36HF73 flat-screen that he bought two years ago. My Mom and Dad are...

Okay interesting I will have to try it out. I still don't understand the colored circle that has a 1 or a 2, and the little picture of the TV that has a 1 and a 2. They are different for different timers depending on what screen I"m on. I have seen nothing in the owner's manual explaining what...

Okay that is what I was wondering. So if I'm on TV1 I want my timers to be set to record on TV1, and husband needs to have his on TV2. When I go to the Daily Schedule where it lists the recordings set for the week... for example, on Friday I have: 6pm Dr Who with a 2 7pm Man vs Wild 1 7pm...

Okay.. thanks I see that option and yup it's defaulted to TV2. So if I record a show and it defaults to TV2.. will my husband all of a sudden see the recording show on his TV since he's on TV2? Confusing. :)

Okay.. I'm sitting here in front of the new Dish Bronze package and setting up my timers. :) If I look at the guide and see one of the shows about to record, it has a little blue circle with a number 2 on it, or a little green circle with a number 1 on it. I assume that means it's going to...

Now that I have Dish Locals, I seem to have guide data on the OTA locals. If I'm correct... and I'm not sure I am, the Dish Locals are in the 8000 channel range? And my OTA local are still the 002-1 etc? Interesting. And I've set up my timers... ooo that is nice, getting only new episodes...

yeah... before we got the Dish HD Package I just had our new HDTV with tuner hooked up to the antenna and we got a number of good substations. My parents are close by me and would enjoy them I think, especially the local PBS substation. Even if they only get SD with the TV and not HD, might...

Cool thanks. I subbed to locals today as well.. didn't have much time last night to play around with it as the installer got there late. I'll be spending some hours playing tonight!

I'm with you. I've been thinking, since I got HDTV... my parents have a big flat screen tube TV they bought a year of so ago.. I need to find out the make/model, but if it's HD ready I'd buy them a tuner for Christmas. They'd get a number of channels they don't now, they only get regular TV, so...

History HD USA HD SciFi HD I must admit, I watch History channel more than I thought I would. Not the war shows, but the ancient rome stuff is interesting. And Sci Fi! Man I can't believe they are not already.

With just having gotten a 622 and wanting to watch two different local stations on two different TVs at the same time, it seems we might have to purchase the locals package. It would be convenient to record two locals at the same time as well, and so I guess if I get locals through DISH I will...
