We just got the HR44. I don't see anything for an OTA. Is it possible to use on the HR44?
Thanks!
Thanks!
KyL416, could you perhaps lookup the local channels for me? I just had DIRECTV installed yesterday. We have the Genie HR44-500KyL416 said:17.2 is in DirecTV's database
Here's what you can try with your AM21 to get the channels you are looking for. First off 13.3 METV is in the database for Indy and by running your home zip code you should get that channel. Run your home zip code as your primary and run Jacksonville FL (32201) as your secondary zip. Jax has a 59.2 and 59.3 in the database and your AM21 will pick them 2 channels up because of this. You will have the wrong guide (Jax guide) on those channels but you will be able to view them. No way to match zip codes to get the correct guides on those 2 channels. Then to get 6.3 and 6.4 channels run Philadelphia PA (19101) as your primary and Sacramento CA (94203) as your secondary zip. 6.3 will have the correct LAFF guide as both Indy and Philly carry LAFF on 6.3. 6.4 which is ESCAPE in Indy, will have the Sacramento guide on that channel, which will be incorrect. But again, no way to match to get the correct guide. So by running 4 zips you can get 6.3,6.4,59.2, and 59.3 although 3 of the 4 will have the wrong guide. This is the best you can do, with the way D* database of channels works.IndyBov said:KyL416, could you perhaps lookup the local channels for me? I just had DIRECTV installed yesterday.

and two of the Genie mini C41-100.
The OTA channels I am interested in are 13.3 and 59.2 in the Indianapolis market. My zip code is 46112 and the county is Hendricks.
Thanks much as my wife if somewhat upset she can't see/record her MeTv of AntennaTV

One thing to remember about the AM21. Your antenna has to pick up a strong enough signal in order for it to log a channel in. If the signal is sporadic or to weak, you will not have the channel even if it's in the database for Indy. So when you get your AM21, run your home zip as primary and Jax as secondary the first time and then run Phil. as primary and Sac. as secondary. The order matters, as once a channel is established another channel with the same number will not override it. This will give you all the channels described if your antenna signal picks them up. Another note, you might have some duplicate and unwanted channels by running additional zip codes. You just have to weed them out with your favorites list.IndyBov said:Thank you very much coconut13. I appreciate the information. My AM21 is on the way.

I'm glad it worked for you. For curiosity's sake. Did you get the channels 6.3,6.4,23.2,59.2 and 59.3 not in D* database for Indy? Did you get a lot of duplicate and unwanted channels by running additional zip codes? It's always interesting to know what happens in other area's with the AM21, by running additional zip codes.IndyBov said:Thanks to all. I got the AM21 and hooked it up using the zipped advise you all provided.
We are now getting the OTA channels we wanted.
Thanks again.
Glad to hear it worked out for you. ...drumdude said:Thanks for the info. Just got the AM21 working with my Genie HR44. Just needed this cord from Amazon. Works great!!
