    DTV Pal DVR

    We loved ours while it worked. One of the problems from the start was the time would get off for recording shows. We did reset the time but the DTV Pal was still off. Ours quit working after 4 months. My sisters stopped after 6 months. I got online to see if there was a possible fix when Dish...

    Best PVR?

    True, they pretty much told me they wouldn't do anything about it. I have a feeling it's not built to last since my sisters lasted only 6 months and ours quit after 4 months. We don't have a landline so this was perfect for us. Basically we just wanted it to record because of my husband's work...

    Best PVR?

    I loved the DTV Pal Plus DVR while it worked. (We ordered it in April I think) For what it cost it wasn't worth what it cost with the short life. My sister also bought one, her's last a couple of months longer than mine. We have decided not to replace it. Hopefully someone else will come out...

    DTVPAL DVR

    I just went to the guide and clicked on 2 shows and it recorded them both. I hope you have better luck with yours. Ours didn't last long. :(

    What is portable digital aerial??

    I was discussing our antenna and only being able to able to pick up Kten and Kxii (because of a TV show we can't pick up) on another forum and someone said we needed to try a portable digital aerial. I tried asking what the difference was but never got a reply. I can't imagine this would help...

    Odds of pulling in stations 90 miles away?

    We have the Winegard HD 8200U antenna, 40 ft. tower, Channel Master CM 7777 Titan Antenna Preamplifier and Channel Master CM 9521A Antenna Rotator. We used Belden 1829AC Single RG-6 Coax Cable and still can't get anything but KXII and Kten. I contacted WFAA in Dallas and Don Guemmer who is...

    Need help with some info for North Texas

    A regular pole type mast just isn't working out. The last bad storm bend it in half. We are trying to find one of those antenna towers (we see them at other houses). They appear to be 3 sided and looks kind of like a narrow ladder. Does anyone know a place to get one locally? Thanks!

    Digital converter box keeps adding channels

    Nothing has changed on our end. We could get them but it was so brief then they just vanished. We scanned for channels almost everyday since we lost them. My husband is considering raising the antenna higher and adding an amp..

    Digital converter box keeps adding channels

    No, we have tried pointing the antenna towards Dallas and Ok. but it doesn't pick up anything but Kten and Kxii now.

    Digital converter box keeps adding channels

    My mistake, it is a DTV PAL DVR, didn't read it right.

    Reception on a clear night

    That happens to us. We were getting Dallas which is 63 miles from us but then lost it. Now we are showing LOTS of channels out of Oklahoma city but have only been able to see them a time or 2.

    Digital converter box keeps adding channels

    We have the DTV Pal from Dish too. The digital TV in the bedroom never shows any extra channels, just Kten and Kxii. I would love it if Kxii or Kten would add RTN and if we could get ABC and at least one PBS.

    Digital converter box keeps adding channels

    I am mostly the only one who liked it the way it used to be.

    Digital converter box keeps adding channels

    Yes we were getting Dallas but then it just vanished off the channels and won't pick it now. Of course we had some bad wind a while back and it bent the mast slightly so the antenna is tilted down in the front a tad. Maybe that is why we lost Dallas. Right now my husband is trying to figure...

    Digital converter box keeps adding channels

    My zip code is 75020 Last night it added 6 more. We have about 30 channels with O signal, most located in Oklahoma City. It would be Nice to get some of them but I know it's not possible. One night a few weeks ago I was able to get one of them and some had some great shows but lost the signal...

    Looking for an antenna

    We bought that antenna and it is VERY directional. It just didn't do a good job at all and we aren't that far from the local station towers. We sent it back and bought a regular antenna.

    We are now getting WFAA in Dallas!

    *Knock on wood* So far it's working great! The only problem we have had is the guide only shows what's coming on today but that's not a biggie. We can record 2 shows at once and that makes it nice since sometimes we watch 2 shows that come on at the same time. Keeping our fingers crossed that...

    Update on our antenna ect..

    We now have a perfect picture, just needed a little adjusting. :D We ordered the DTV Pal DVR from Dish and it works like a charm. The only problem is the guide says 'No information available' except for what is coming on that day. Not a major problem and we can certainly live with that. It does...

    I'm back again, losing signal on Kten

    We can get 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 but Kten's channels get choppy and at times we lose them. We put up the Winegard HD 8200U High Defintion Platinum VHF/UHF/FM Antenna (HD8200U) and it's 24 ft. high. I don't know if we need a pre-amp or what. It is aimed in the direction of...
