Your locals must be on spot beams? At your new location you can't pick them up. By the book nothing you can do, is it possible to pick up the locals (ALA) via OTA antenna?

Look here AntennaWeb Follow the prompts this will give you a good idea about the type of antenna you may need, I am fortunate because I can use an indoor antenna to pick up my locals.

OTA is over the air, if you can pick up your locals with an antenna. Some choose to do this instead of paying your provider for them.

My reply was to the original poster not yours, if you receive NESN you should receive NESN HD!! The NESN HD should be on a conus beam to allow the people that purchased the Baseball package to see it anywhere in the country.

If you do receive those HD stations the pro games will be blacked out for you!

A&E is in HD (not much programming at this time) Dish offers it!

If this turns out to be true, as in the past there will be exceptions for equipment older than (some date ) you will not be affected, for the rest which is probably stated in your contract no Direct service the box is a brick!! From a personal standpoint I don't like it but from a business...

No, that statement was made by Comcast as a countermeasure hoping to possibly make Direct TV leave that issue alone!!

The trees and growth will block the signal. Do you own a compass? If so find your AZ/EL numbers (you can get these from the Direct TV web page) and point it there you will have a good idea!!

Keep the pre-amp on the same side of the di-plexer with the antenna. Remember your Sat Receiver sends a voltage up to the LNB!! so if you allow DC pass on the antenna side that Sat voltage will also go that way !!

Yes you need a diplexer, and make sure it has the DC block on the low side (ant) just like the picture above.

Yep same here!! We still don't have it!!

Good question!! Have you asked direct TV that same question? I have.

After the original scan, after you move your antenna do not re-scan you must manually add the channels to your list. You can use www.antennaweb.org to get a list of channels in your area, this gives you a list of the channel numbers to enter manually.

If the cable is really 10 years old there is a good chance it is not RG6, I would really check it!!

You can still watch the Eagles all the games will be on Fox or ESPN or ABC!!! If you like Flyers, Sixers and or Phillies you are SOL!!!

My cable company Comcast is asking for an additional $8.95 a month for a second digital box!! So now $5 doesn't sound so bad.

If you use such a device such as the Leap Frog keep in mind it only has composite and RF inputs. And it has a problem with other 2.4ghz devices in your home. 30 feet is a workable distance.

300 feet away That's a long way to go take a bathroom break!! You must live in a mansion!! The only wireless solutions usually don't cover more than 100ft and they struggle to do that effectively. Can you run a cable part of the way, and then try one of the wireless transmit/receiver pairs...

NO!! You need to buy a new one from Direct TV!!

I don't know about there claim because I haven't tried it but I will repeat the Birds are stationed over the US and have a footprint to match. Is it possible to pick it up from Italy, I won't say it's impossible but improbable, hopefully some of the Satellite Gurus on this forum can answer that!!

I don't think the satellites cover Italy!! They are Geo-synchronous stationed over the US.

That sounds like a logical choice and remember since you have component inputs on your Display if you choose to try the component connection from a progressive scan DVD player you can plug it (video) directly into your display. Good luck and enjoy it.

If you are not planning on adding a Progressive scan DVD or HD any time soon, you don't have a need for component cables, so the issue is N/A. If this is the case and I repeat if you don't think you will make the change (adding one of the above) don't waste your money. With a source and a...

If you have HD or progressive sources you will need them, if cost is not a deal breaker get them to possibly future-proof yourself. (just in case later on you do want component switching you will have it). With all said above to answer your question for certain sources the answer is yes.
