I have a Terk HDTV-A with the amp turned on. I was getting all Philly stations (3,6,10,17,29,57) in the 80's and 90's before the switch. Now I'm barely getting 40's for 6 and 12, 17 is in the 60's, and the rest are OK. I'm disappointed.
I feel the same. I just bought an HR10-250 two months ago, and now it looks to be already obsolete. It may be time to end my 8-year relationship with DirecTV. If their "conversion" requires me to spend a penny, it will. Still waiting....
Given today's announcements about the HR10-250 (apparently) NOT being able to access DirecTV's new "local HD and other services", I would seriously consider HOLDING OFF buying one now. I think I just got screwed to the tune of $1000 two months ago.
I'm a DirecTV customer in Central NJ (near Trenton). I'm looking for an installer to do some re-wiring to support Tivo. My current setup has a Triple LNB (Terk with the integrated switch) dish mounted on the house back wall at the 2nd floor. The two existing cables run up the roof to the chimney and then into the attic. One cable then runs across the attic to a bedroom, and the other runs down a PVC wire chase to the basement, and then to a first floor room. I want...
The exception to this rule is WHYY 12.1. They broadcast different stuff on their HDTV signal vs. their OTA SD signal when the scheduled programming is SD. You should do fine with a Silver Sensor antenna. It's VERY directional, so you may have to turn it to get different stations.
Did UPN 57 move their transmitter or something? Last night, I was getting a greatly reduced signal strength during Enterprise, and I had to re-point my Silver Sensor just to get a watchable signal.
Oh, sorry. Didn't see that. I can see why Jake 2.0 went down, but I'm a little surprised that Enterprise is going under. I'd really like to see SciFi-HD on DirecTV!
Also, WPVI 6.1 screwed up yet again. For Threat Matrix, the sound was missing the center channel - no dialogue, no misc sounds (like a chair scraping), just the soundtrack. Are these folks going to get their act together?
Enterprise is running new episodes right now Wednesdays at 8pm on UPN 57 - in glorious HD.
True, but each one was different (except perhaps 17.1 and 75.1)
