View Full Version : Using HR10-250 as OTA only

I was able to get my old HR10 setup for OTA only. However I can only get two main channels to work (ABC and CBS) and a few indies/Spanish stations. But I have good signal strength on each of the frequencies for the other channels.

I only have the antenna connected, no sat line and no phone line.

Any ideas?

One clue is that it seems that the only stations that work are the ones whose frequency is the same as the channel (i.e. CBS is channel 11-1 and freq 11).

This is the DFW area.

Have you gone in and cleared stations and then re-scanned for OTA stations? (DirecTV Central - Messages & Settings - Settings - Channels) Alternatively, is it possible you just don't have the stations added to your "Channels I Receive" or "Favorites" list?
