    I am going to jump on 1 as soon as it drops to 1000. My wife would have no problem with it for sure because of all the stuff we bring to tailgate with, this would be a nice space saver. No more hauling around a dish, cement pole stand, receiver and tv. More room for BEER!!!

    Pour some warm water on the dish if you can- mine had some snow-ice stuck to it here in MD. I can pour water on it because it is connected off of my deck. The next thing I did which has worked well so far and through the night- (tons of sleet and freezing rain here now) is get a spray bottle...

    Thanks again- I am a master googler and found those videos just as I was reading your post- I actually bought my OTA antenna from solidsignal. I will see if I can get my brother over tomorrow to help me fine tune with some walkie talkie action. I am first going to have to secure that Dish on...

    99 (b) has 24 28 44 24 37 103 (a) has 32 0 0 65 37 59 I assume those numbers are not good. Like I said - they were working earlier today- sometime around 4-5 pm the channels went down

    I had no problems with this until today. Now I cannot get 4, 5, 7, or 9 in at all- either grey blank screen or horrible blocking/pixelization. Never had this problem before. I have 11b

    All of my local HD MPEG-4 channels are experiencing major pixelization and are not coming in. My OTA channels are fine- anyone else experiencing this? All my other D* channels are fine. Very weird.

    Update: fixed with RBR. Not sure why it was happening- but my first"issue" with the hr20 in 2 months of ownership- not bad!!

    I am not getting channels 72-78, anyone else experiencing this? I am going to do a RBR to try to fix it if possible Thanks happy new year

    #1- love your Avatar!! #2 - I would be bitter too- seems like Bmore is getting the screwgie when it comes to this matter. I am still suprised that I am getting it in HD with all the problems Comcast cable has in the DC market. I live in New Market, which is basically the same distance from DC...

    Our RSN channel 629 is HD 24 hours a day- so no need to have on one of those channels. 90% of the time it is a mirror of the SD channel, but sometimes they have a wizards game on in SD, but the Caps on in HD. Not sure how they decide which sport gets the HD feed.

    As Earl said, you have to be in the DC market or you are SOL. I am lucky enough to live in the DC market, but also can receive both OTA HD from Bmore and DC- and DC locals in HD through D*, so my HD choices are plentiful. :)

    2 entries but the "HD" entry in guide never shows the same programming - instead I think it says upcoming show or something. This makes it impossible to record the HD ahead of time. So you can watch it, but cannot record it. More need to complain (to who, I do not know) so this is fixed.

    You guys are awesome and it seems that I have many people who feel the same way I do. I am waiting for them to call me back and try to explain to me what they really want in this situation. With all of your help- I feel armed with enough ammunition to be able to fight this situation head-on...

    Sharkie, The person who is complaining wants me to move it or remove it because he sees it when he pulls out of his street below my townhouse.(we sit on top of a hill overlooking his house that surrounds the lake below) I have my antenna mounted on a pole at the back of my house behind my...

    Oh sweet- then screw them- Now I am tempted to buy an even bigger one and drape Xmas lights on it for good measure- thanks for your help.

    My HOA is trying to get me to remove my OTA antenna 4228 CM because a neighbor does not like the look of it. Well of course I do know of the FCC law saying I can have one- but it appears my 4228 is 39 1/2" in width, but the FCC says you have to have an antenna smaller than 39 3/7" (1 meter) in...

    I did the same- you can switch out what you want/need with the leviton ones. Very nice to have the flexibility, plus extra ports in case you upgrade.
