Help: OTA HD DirecTV and TiVo

[uclakidd]

I have the new 5-LNB and H20 receiver.


I basically get my local HD channels in HD except for one channel that I *really* want in HD. That is, the WB network. I bought a cheapie indoor antenna last night from target (~$20) and it worked flawlessly. I got 90-100% signal for WB (which is channel 5 in Los Angeles).

Anyway, the h20 receiver assigned it as channel 5-1. For the life of me, I can't make TiVo change to this channel. I want it to record my SPs for the WB on this channel. YES, I know it won't record in HD (I don't have an HDTiVo) but the down-graded quality of HD is FAR superior to SD.

Anyone know what I can do?

Nothing. SD TiVos can't tune digital channels with a dash.

Does the H20 have an timer autotune feature?

The only thing you could do is schedule a manual recording from the video inputs on the tivo, have the satellite reciever either turn on and tune itselt to that channel, or you make sure it is on and tuned when the Tivo wants to record.
Maybe even hide the IR blaster so the Tivo won't tune the H20 to a different channel.

Better yet, get yourself an HR10-250 and record the actual HD content.

Yeah, I resorted to the autotune feature.


Can't use HR10, its incompatible with the new AT9 dish I have. It doesn't decode MPEG4.
