Welcome to DBSTalk

If you don't receive your HD locals from DIRECTV you can add an AM21 to add two OTA tuners to it.

Thank you mike! Since I am a noob to this, can someone point me in the right direction as to how to purchase and what is envolved w/setup.

There are a few places online selling them like solidsignal.com and you can also get it from DIRECTV for $50.

All you do is connect the USB cable that comes with it to the AM21 and HR21pro. Then connect the attached power cord for the AM21 to the power on the HR21pro and the power cord that was connected to the HR21pro to the AM21. It will power up and take you right to the set up screen. Very easy to do. It takes less than 5 minutes.
