We just got the HR44. I don't see anything for an OTA. Is it possible to use on the HR44?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Enjoy them while they last ...Christopher Gould said:I'm in your market and I have a genie with the old software. Haven't received new software yet.
Channels not in the guide are: 20-2, 43-1, 43-2, 43-3, 55-2 these channels show regular schedule.
wonder if this could be fixed by software update on the 34'sNR4P said:You didn't mention which Genie you have.
The HR34 does not power down the AM21, the HR44 does.
If you have a 34, the recommended solution is black tape over the blue led on the AM21.
I've hooked an AM21 up several times to my HR44-700. It should recognize the AM21 immediately. As you know from the 34, once you've entered your zip and it's identified your market, only then will it pull the appropriate OTA GUIDE data.johnnytex said:Installer just left . Replaced MY HR34 with a HR44/500.
I asked about my AM21 and said he thought it would not work.
Plugged the power in and hooked up the USB cable.
Rebooted and I only got Sat set-up no off air.
Is there something I am dong wrong?
Thanks.

By daisy chain you mean the power right?Steve said:I've hooked an AM21 up several times to my HR44-700. It should recognize the AM21 immediately. As you know from the 34, once you've entered your zip and it's identified your market, only then will it pull the appropriate OTA GUIDE data.
You have the AM21 power connected directly, correct? It doesn't "daisy chain", like with the 34. If it's connected directly, I'd double-check the USB connection and reboot the HR44 again.
Correct. Unlike the HR34/AM21, where a single connection powers both units, the AM21 and HR44 each have to be separately connected to A/C.johnnytex said:By daisy chain you mean the power right?
It did not ask me for my zip code anywhere!
Got me, then. If the AM21 is powered-on and the USB cable is connected from it to the HR44, that option should appear. Perhaps you need to give DirecTV a call. :shrug:johnnytex said:There is no Antenna setup.
Yep and Yep.NR4P said:Is the blue light on front of AM21 turned on? And the usb cable securely connected at both ends?
No. The AM21 should be immediately recognized. As far as GUIDE data is concerned, OTA channel info isn't added to the GUIDE until after the primary (and secondary) OTA markets are determined. That happens as part of OTA set-up.Laxguy said:No one thinks that with only a few hours gone by from initial install that waiting for the '44 to be fully loaded might make a diff??
See itzme's post above. He just installed his AM21 last week running the same 0x725 that's available today.ticmxman said:I suppose it could, maybe something changed in the latest software update that effected more than just the AM21's scanning for channels. It can't hurt to try again later.
But just to be clear, they didn't appear automatically. You (or the installer) had to enter those zip codes into "Initial Setup", under "Settings", "Sat and Antenna", "Antenna Setup", correct?itzme said:FWIW, The am21 did not get any channels from my secondary market. Both my primary and secondary market zip codes appear in System Info, under "antenna"
There are two ways to control which AM21 OTA channels appear in the guide:mpie314 said:I think I may need to go this route to get my local CW channel. I live in Waci and get the National DC feed but only in HD. When you do the set up can you pick and choose what OTA stations to add to guide? I have no problem getting my local big 4 in HD with satellite. I know you can only record 2 things at once off the AM21 (I have the genie HR44) just don't want there to be an issue when recording multiple shows at once from the big 4.
