Unable to get OTA on My H20

[Robel]

I recently purchased an H20 from Robert at Value Electronics (Great Guy, I Highly Recommend) ... and for some reason I can't pull in any of my OTA locals.

The antenna attached to my chimney hasn't been touched since I swapped receivers so it can't be that the antenna is out of alignment.

Whenever I try to access the channels through my guide it says searching for signal, however whenever I punch the channel numbers up on my remote, it says channel unavailable. What am I doing wrong? Anyone know?

Did you do a scan under the installation section? I dont have one in front of me but I used to have an H10. I think you have to configure the box to let it know which zip code, scan for channels so it can align the digital channel to the programming guide. Scanning will also tell you your signal strength.

During your setup did you select dish plus OTA?

Did you plug the coax for the OTA into the right port on the H-20?

When you did the initial guided set up did you tell the H-20 to search for both satellite and OTA signals and did you specify the correct type dish that you have?

Hope this helps and good luck!

go here put your zip in and it will tell you what HD locals are in your area, how far from the tower and what direction it is in and what color they are in so you can match it to your antenna.
