New D* install

[cwbuckley]

Just thought that I would say a few things about my install this morning. The tech called around 7 this morning and was at my place by 7:30. Everything with the install went ok. The receivers that I got were the HR20 and the H20. So far no problems. It would appear that I am getting all of my HD channels. The only problem that I had with the installer was that he would not hookup the OTA. He would have had to run a new line and said that was not his job and it may not have been, but I thought it would have been nice if he would have do it for me. As a result I had to go out and buy an OTA indoor antenna. I bought the cheapest thing they had and I get a great picture. The D* receivers don't have an ota meter like E* so I really can't tell how strong a signal I am getting. Like I said, it looks good. I have setup the recorder to record some program to see if that all works like it is suppose to. The HD picture is really great.

I did notice that some of the sports channels I watch on E* are in the sports package. CSTV is one of them, FSW is another one. Oh well, I guess one can't have everything.

All and all I am very pleased.

I have two hr20's and they both show the ota signal meter if it is hooked up to the back of your reciever

I do have the ota antenna hooked into the back of the receivers.

the ota signal meter on mine is under sat and ant, then edit off air channels

Thanks, I found it, its just that it doesn't come up on the screen as your changing channels like it does on E*. I am getting a screen signal on CBS and that is the ota channel that I watch mostly.

If you go to menu-help&settings-setup-satellite-repeat guided setup, there will be a selection for satellite&antana instead of just satellite. If you pick that your OTA will be on the receiver.
