I have the 50 inch version of this TV. There is an onscreen guide but mine is limited to my tv provider directv. It will detect your service and download that guide. Not sure why you need it as you can just use the guide on your receiver.

I use the one from my cable company - Time Warner. But the TV does have an electronic program guide.

Finding all the Over The Air broadcast channels in your area that this or any antenna can pick up is a function of your television. Look in the manual for your TV for how to add local channels. Usually it is just a matter of going to your TV's setup menu and selecting the button to auto locate local channels. If you are not sure what channels are in your area, another thing you can do is go online to a website that will show all the broadcast channels in your area. This is one I checked when I set up my LAVA 8000: http://www.homeantenna.org/digital-antenna-reception-map.html

Yes, all digital channels .1, .2, .3, .4 being broadcast are decoded and put in channel guide in queue with off the air from satellite.

No OTA. But do as the other person says. Visit freaktab.com---That will answer all your questions.

It is a TV tuner with Spanish (???) instructions. It did not work on my equipment. I went on-line and found the English manual. Then discovered that this set is not set up for cable. Will only receive signals from TV antenna (not satellite). I returned unit.

The way I understand it how many shows you can record is limited by number of LNBs and SWM technology. For instance on my motorhome I have an older dish with no SWM so I can only record 1 program but at home I have the Genie and can record 4. The OTA has no impact on this. You only need one OTA and all of the available channels will appear on the guide and you can choose as many as your setup will accommodate. Keep in mind the channels available are what Directv makes available in their database for your zip code - not necessarily what you can pick up with your roof antenna. I am usually able to get the channels I want but sometimes have to play with zip codes until what I want is populated in the guide.

I have had no problem getting OTA digital stations. The box has a connection for a satellite, dont have a dish, but I see no reason it should not work. What the box does is select what input you send to each tv. It doesnt care what the signal is, it just switches it.

Hi, it doesnt have an interactive guide. It uses the interactive guide of your tv provider, like sky, dish, etc. Regards.

The on screen guide is only if your tv has one installed. The antenna does not provide one it just receives the proper information to support one.

It does have a guide. It only shows you what currently showing and what will be shown in the next hour.

This product does not provide an OTA tuner. There are plenty of cheap products for that. Ceton focused on providing a high quality tuner to deal with US cable card protected networks. The encoding is different. Cable systems use QAM modulation and encoding and US OTA uses ATSC.

It only works with certain DirecTV receivers. Many of the newer ones (especially the HD models) do not pass the TVGOS information. To find out if your receiver passes the information, call DirecTV. Many of the reps don't understand it though, so it may take a few phone calls until you reach someone who does, or is at least willing to ask someone more knowledgeable.You should still be able to set recordings manually and the IR blaster will change the channel on the DirecTV receiver for you.

This portable television has dual tuners, NTSC and ATSC. This will allow broadcast signals from both digital and analog transmissions. (Esta televisión portátil tiene dos sintonizadores, NTSC y ATSC. Esto permitirá que las señales de emisión de las transmisiones digitales y analógicas.)

Unfortunately, no. None online yet. In fact, mine didn't come with a printed manual (only a basic "quick start" guide). The full manual has to be viewed on the TV itself, via a menu item. It's a pretty good manual overall, but I wish a printed one or downloadable PDF were available.

It will take several min to initialize complete scanning but once it is done as new sub channels become available they just appear. Yes you can manually add channels with out losing the CDB. It has a some nice channel features like fav list and nice easy editing. Program info covers about 24 hours future has name and show description or just brief and lets you keep watching in a little box. Display modes very useful & usable. I have had 2 other OTA units and this is the most feature packed and also seems the most stable.

The manual says you can program up to 12 different programs. I can't find anything that allows you to tell it what channel???My old VHS tape player did it and to my knowledge it did not have a built in tuner.

IN my case I got all the green channels listed when I gave my zip code for the DTV maps listed at this site. http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ Note that each call sign may have multiple channels.
