    HR-22, seeing a background picture while DR TV logo floating on screen...?

    My wife just noticed that when the Direct TV logo is floating on the screen (screen saver mode) a background picture is also showing. It's not a big deal but just curious if there is a fix for it, my HR-21 doesn't do it, all I see is the floating logo on a black background. Thanks Ron W.

    Bob, First, thanks for the reply. I guess I'm confused about not being able to watch a live program while something else is being recorded? Thanks Ron

    Can OTA antenna share sat cable into house?

    I called in a private installer to do a site survey before signing up for Direct TV, just to check out what's involved with our installation, HD & DVR (HR-21). I understand we will need an amplified OTA antenna to get local HD which will feed the AM-21, the AM-21 will be available in a few...

    Local HD via Satellite?

    Frank, I put my address and zip in and they all came back grade A or B, which looks like it would be a hard sell for a waiver. Thanks

    Local HD via Satellite?

    Chip, I'm not sure what you mean by digital tuner whitin the TV, I'm thinking I do....but if what your saying is connect the OTA directly to the TV and use it's internal tuner, I guess I could. But that would mean going into the TV menu and deselect the HD/DVR input and switching to the OTA...

    Local HD via Satellite?

    Well, I'm going to have the local installer/dealer come out to the house anyway and listen to what he suggests, it won't cost me anything and I can get a feel for he knows. Plus I'll probably learn some more..... Those antennas look interesting, but they would be useless if I can't get the...

    Local HD via Satellite?

    When I went to the antenna web site and did a location check one station that my wife needed would only be received by a UHF antenna (or vis-versa, I forget) and the rest where VHF. How can I find out if there are any local dealers nearby that do the installs so I can see what success rates...

    Local HD via Satellite?

    Went to AntennaWeb and found that info thanks, it looks like I'll need two types of OTA antennas to get the channels I need. This is getting confusing....... Ron W.

    Local HD via Satellite?

    Ok, at least that answers that... So the only way I can get those FOX, CBS, ABC such as Bones, House etc. in HD is to go with an outside over the air antenna along with the DirecTV dish. Now is that OTA antenna included in the installation no chargee? Thanks Ron W.

    Local HD via Satellite?

    This is my first post so bear with me if I don't make any sense:D My wife and i have cable now and finally have had enough with Time Warner Rate increases, we will be dropping them and their hi-speed cable modem (total cost per month $160). I will go with Verizon EVDO for internet access now...
