OTA and Cable

[pjsjeep]

I have access to basic cable being sent over the internet connection via cable provider. If I get an OTA adapter, can I hook cable to it so to have guide and dvr access? Hopper WS

No. The OTA module only deals with ATSC signals. Basic cable is NTSC/QAM.

You could always pick up your NBC OTA with rabbit ears or some other OTA antenna. That's what I'm doing

An attic or outdoor antenna may work, if you're willing to go through such measures. You're not in Tuscaloosa? Tuscaloosa is only 50 miles from WVTM.

I am working on the outdoor antenna now. I need one anyhow with the satellite going out during rain and these blackouts. I have DIRT sending me an adapter.
