Thats the same question that was asked when they took the cards out of the recvrs in the first place, they figured that they were able to get thier locals from the Sat. then shortly afterwards, they came out with the AM21s ...
If this is the case, it will be interesting to see what happens ... will they be bringing out a NEW one maybe ?
One that scans maybe ?

[larry55]

I'm not very impress with any of their new improve versions. The HR44 is great, but I hate the client equipment it is tag with.

At this point, I refuse to use a client in my set ups (personal), as I prefer to have the extra tuners of the stand alones.
Unless its in a room that really doesn't get used.

I call solid signal Monday and they have any at the present time hope to get some in later this week. At 149.00 the am 21 will not be selling fast.

Happy that my H20-100 still works fine. I would miss my OTA tuner.

Your right, it use to go for $50, its not worth $150.

Your OTA tuner in the H20 will still work fine.

 

[spiderman865]

I wasn't asking if it will still work.

Sorry.

My warehouse has had 47 of these for the last year and a half... we have antennas too... the actual trick is getting a tech with enough tenure to know what the product actually is. We might install 1 a year, if that... and I have seen upgrades where they drop ship the 21 and we go out to setup the antenna. Then the techs have a heart attack since there are 3/102 techs in the office left that have ever installed one. Plus the range on our antennas suck. I actually refer customers to solid signal most of the time. Our DMA is just too big for the 20mile antennas.

That is because most of the time the AM21 was an add on feature that the individual normally would buy. Not always, but I think more often than not.

True but there was a time they tried to push it in certain dmas that did not carry all local channels. I still never got my local ion... I have the national feed.
