Sorry for my stupidity on this subject but I am on 00FA in San Diego. Should I do everything in my power to get Ox10B even though I already get local MPEG HD on my HR20 with FA software?
I'm sorry to say, but I believe the window for the 0x10B update has been closed. You can try a forced download and possibly get 0x108 or 0x104 but mostlikely you'll only re-download 0xFA.Scoonie1973 said:Sorry for my stupidity on this subject but I am on 00FA in San Diego.

Scoonie - You missed the 2-1/2 hour window for downloading the 0x10B software download. If everything is working fine for you now, be content until 0x10B or a later release goes public.Scoonie1973 said:Sorry for my stupidity on this subject but I am on 00FA in San Diego.

The only firmware you can get at this time is 0xFA. If you had 0x10b you could receive OTA HD channels such as pbs etc.Scoonie1973 said:I tried to force the Ox10B but it keeps rebooting at OxFA. IF, I had Ox10B could I recieve the other OTA HD channels such as PBS etc?
Right now, I recieve CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC only.
Where are you located in San Diego? What kind of antenna do you have? Where is it mounted? Just having 0x1b doesn't mean that you will automatically receive all available OTA signals in San Diego. Local broadcasting is done from three different locations, Mt. Soledad in La Jolla for KFMB (CBS) and KGTV (ABC), Mt. San Miguel in Spring Valley for KNSD (NBC), KPBS and KSWB (CW), and Mt. San Miguel in Mexico for XETV (Fox).Scoonie1973 said:So I finally received the new software but I still am not receiving all of my San Diego local HD channels. The only channels I receive for local HD are ABC, Fox, CBS, and NBC, I was already receiving these before the software upgrade.
I am not receiving the following local HD channels:
PBS: KPBS HD
Channel 4: Local San Diego HD (Maybe only Cox has this.)
MyTV: XDTV Channel 13
CW: San Diego Channel 5
Subchannels: I used to have multiple subchannels listed in guide but now they are gone.
Does anyone in San Diego area know if I should be receiving these or not? Does the receiver need to be setup differently?
You need to attach an external antenna and then run the antenna setup in the Setup sub-menus. Then make sure you add the new stations to your "Favorites".Scoonie1973 said:So I finally received the new software but I still am not receiving all of my San Diego local HD channels.

Pardon the incredulous look on my face, but are you saying you expected to receive Over-The-Air (OTA-HD) on your HR20 with NO antenna connected to it? Wow!Scoonie1973 said:Understood. I don't have an antenna, just HR20. I thought with the new Ox10B software you would automatically receive ALL OTA HD local channels. I guess I was dreaming too much again.
BTW, I am in Solana Beach, Thanks for the information.
Glad you got a good laugh. Since I already receive ABC, NBC etc, why would I nothasan said:Pardon the incredulous look on my face, but are you saying you expected to receive Over-The-Air (OTA-HD) on your HR20 with NO antenna connected to it? Wow!![]()

I'm really not trying to give you a hard time...really...I'm just trying to ....well....fathom it all.
Looks like some buddies in the same DMA are helping you out. Good luck and enjoy your HR20. Thanks for the chuckle!

Search the web or these forums for suggestions, but without too much trouble and for about 25 bucks, you should be able to attach an indoor antenna and get, in addition to the satellite channels:
6,8,10 and 39 Hi-def feeds, including two feeds for 10 and 39
Two HD feeds for 15 (PBS)
HD feed for 51
Two HD feeds for 69, including the incredibly cool 69-3, "The Tube" 24 hour music video channel.
This last is worth the price of the indoor antenna.
