Thanks all this gives me a lot of info to work with.

Thanks, I did same setup on both as you described and it worked. I can now view channels on both. However, one scans and 'grabs' more channels than the other one. Any idea as to why? Is there a firmware upgrade for these units?

Hi All, I have two DirecTV SONY SAT-HD100 connected to the same outdoor antenna and I am using them for over-the-air digital channels. The issue is one gets channels and the other does not - the error message is that the unit is "searching for digital signal". The set up is the same for...

Hey All, I have above mentioed IRD. I've looked and researched but can't find anything that tells me whether this unit has a digital tuner for OTA channels. I have even looked at DirecTV's user's manual, but even that does not specify. Does any one know? Thanks.

Thanks to the both of you. I'm sorry I don't assume anybody to do my research for me. My goal is simply to reuse an older satellite IRD, if possible, as an OTA unit. I can usually find them for under $10 at a second hand store. Can't afford to buy a new one right now. I come across a lot of...

Is it corrrect to assume that you can use the 'HD Models' to view digital OTS channels with out a DirecTV subscription?

Thanks, and out of curiosity what does 'SD' stand for and how do you tell if a DirecTV receiver is 'SD' or not? Thanks.

Hi All, Will above mentioned receiver work as a stand alone OTA digital receiver with-out a DirecTV subscription. Thanks.

Hi All, Can above mentioned receiver get digital OTA channels? Does it need a sbubscription or can I use stand alone? Thanks.

You know thougfh, the unit does have an 'off air in' connection in the back vs an RF connection.

Thanks to the both of you.

Hi All, I have above mentioned receiver and want to know if I can use it for viewing OTA digital channels with-out a DirecTV subscription. Thanks.

thanks!

Hey Everyone, Does anybody know if above mentioned units can 'dub' as OTA digital receivers? Thanks.

Thanks to the both of you.

Hi All, Does anybody know if above mentioned receiver has a digital OTA tuner? Thanks.

Thanks boba, You're right, I did read the manual and understood that I can not record with it with out a DirecTV sub. However, the unit does have a 'cable/antenna' RF input and was wondering if that could be used for over the air digital signal reception? The user's manual was not clear on...

Hi All, I have above mentioned sat receiver ( I know it's older ) and I don't have a DirecTV subscription. Can this unit be used as an off the air digital signal receiver? If so, how do I get it from the "Welcome, powering up...," ( seems to be stuck on this screen ), to the Welcome screen?

Hi All, I have above mentioned reciever- I know that it's old. But I want to give it a 'whirl' if anyone thinks it's worth a shot. It says that it is for satellite and off-air high definition programming. Does anyone know if it can be used for off-air HD channels only, or does it have to be...

Well when I did a search I discovered that the 101 sat ( AMC 4) has plenty of open religious channels, some of which I am interested in. I thought you needed to point to the 110 first becuase it is the middle LNB of the 5 LNBs. And then I thought you needed to tilt the dish to hit the 101 - the...

This thread probably should have been posted in FTA section - if a MOD wants to move that would be great. I am new to all this stuff but have some idea. Thanks to the both of you. But I acquired a Coolsat STB and advised I can use for open channels. And, this STB does not give EL, AZ & Tilt...

Hi All, I have a Slime line with 5LNBs and would like to try and set it up. I am mostly interested in checking out the channels on the 101. Can some one give me the EL / AZ & specially the Tilt? I am in Brea, CA zip 92821. Thanks.
