HR20 OTA being enabled now

[jpn]

Not activated in Memphis, TN. (must be patient, must be patient)

Any word when the rollout goes national?

That particular antenna should go a lot farther than 25 miles.

That's my point; being under that antenna's max range, along with it's quality, the user should find it a great, cost-effective selection. What are you talking about?

Depends on how well things go over the weekend....

More should be known Monday/Tuesday

OTA is crucial to anyone wanting this thing. It will ALWAYS look better than satellite mpeg4 or not and there are many times when weather takes satellite signals OUT but not OTA.

That aside, it's good to have a backup either way.

I have not found out who the specific maker of the part is..

Thanks everyone for your help, I will give it a try though I am in a valley with hills surrounding. I tried antennas in the back of my receiver to no avail.

My only fear is getting wiring from the outside to my downstairs set.

Thanks for the help

OK, I live 45 miles from Milwaukee, and roughly 50 miles from Chicago, I'd like to pick up both cities if possible, what would I need?

Also do I need a UHF, VHF, or both?


Thanks

I just don't want to do this yet. I love my H10-250 too much!!

Go to antennaweb.org and input your address, not just your zip code. Then copy/paste the results into your reply. That will give us the info we need to give you antenna advice.

Personally, I would go with both, and get a rotor while your at it, so you can change the antenna direction to pick up both cities.

Your distance should be no problem at all.

You are assuming that the ota tuner has an LG 5th generation chipset in it. The box isn't made by LG, so who knows who makes the tuner.

I thought there previously was going to be a 5th gen LG tuner chip in this box. Has that changed? Don't Samsung and others also have 5th gen chips?

I would imagine that the chip is a 5th generation...
How does that change this situation ?
You still need to point the antenna in the correct direction, unless all towers are in the same area.

I can NOW get the Detroit market on my HR-20-700, it would not come in on my H-10 in the bedroom.
I was always able to get the Detroit market with my built in HD tuner in the Sony XBR.
