My Panasonic TH-42PX60U built in tuner pulled in almost a dozen channels and my HR20 (Ox108) only pulls in CBS, all other channels have 0 signal strength. Any ideas why such poor reception on HR20?

NP here in Austin, got all the ATSC channels with signal readings in the 90's.

How is your antenna connected to the HR20? Did you just move the cable from the Panasonic over to the HR20 or is it a new run?

I have a LARGE 6 foot antenna in the attic with its own line running straight to the HR20. My other LCD HD tv pulled all channels in also but the HR20 pulls in nothing.

You are the second St.Louis person that has said the same thing...

badit11 Im in the same boat. my hr10-250 used this line and never had an issue. I have another line running to my 42 philips plasma and its fine and sees all the channels but the Hr20 sees one or 2 is all.

Thanks Earl, I am running up to R-Shack and see if an amplifier may help, all channels
show up in list just no signal

Earl,

Can we set something up to find out if people are diplexing?

My Bro updated last night and his was working and I'm in STL.

I just installed an inline amplifier and still no signal. How frustrating to have but not
have OTA after all this time. I seems as if only St. Louis is having this problem.

I live in the St. Louis area and all of my stations were coming in great last night execpt for KMOV channel 4 CBS. It was not getting a signal at all. I also can pick up stations from Cape and Carterville.

 

[remlle]

this is wierd. I mean i put the same coaxial on my TV and it picks up all the hd stations. but it back on the hr20 and its a nogo.
dont get it.

 

[badit11]

what zip code are you using, maybe if i enter that it may change something on mine?
I can only cross my fingers.

 

[remlle]

but like Ive stated in another thread i get great signal strengths. they all look great so I Dont get it.

 

[badit11]

remlle,

I also am flabergasted switching cable and both tv's tuners are fine but HR20 gets nothin'

 

[Earl Bonovich]

They are looking into it...

 

[remlle]

[badit11]
