Can i input and ota hd antenna to this and how do i split it back out at my hr-22 dvr?

Hi afhmiami,My straight answer to you is "I do not know", since I have not tested the off the air antenna before with SWM16.The use of AM-21 of the air tuner seems plausible. I hope this helps.Nick.
1240316
No, unlike the SWM-8 and SWM-32 the SWM-16 does not have an "off air" antenna input. You can use a SWM compatable diplexer to split the signal back out on the receiver end.
1240317
No not with SWIM-16 system. Directv uses some of the Same frequencies that comming off the off-air antenna. They interfere with each other.

You Can not input a OTA to a SWIM 16. Try an AM21 of air tuner from DirecTV
1240319
As far as I know, you cannot input OTA into the SWiM16. You would most likely have to purchase an AM21 off air tuner from DirecTV. The AM21 should connect to your HR22 HD DVR and you should be able to get your local channels that way. I have an HR34 Genie HD DVR. I purchased one of the AM21 tuners, connected it to my HR34 and I pick up 37 OTA channels currently. Everyone's results will vary, in regards to how many local OTA channels they can pick up and view. I hope the info helps.

I don't know what other equipment you might have on your system. If you live in NJ we might be able to help as we are an DTV licensed MDU CONTRACTOR

G., This box can capture over the air (OTA) off your antenna or at standard quality (SD) through RCA cables or S-Video. If your DVR is not HD, then this box will do the trick. If you want HD quality, I recommend using component output (HDMI will not work) with Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR (not the HD-PVR 2 or Gaming editions). That is what I use to capture video from my DVR. The AVerMedia Home Free Plus works great for OTA recording with Windows 7 (but the SiliconDust HDHomeFree is actually an even better choice for OTA). Also, I have heard some have problems getting the AverMedia to work well with Windows 8.

There is a menu setting that gives you a choice between "air/cable," so it seems that there is an input for antenna. I saw nothing on the back that was separate from the cable connection, but I think that the same connection is used for both antenna or cable.

You can't use the antenna RF input, but can change from PAL to NTSC by holding the stop and eject buttons at the same time for 5 seconds or more. This lets you connect a set top box like a cable box or Tivo to the L/R audio and video (yellow) or S-Video input on the back of the EH69. I also have another box hooked up to the front inputs. I temporarily set up the EH69 on a small video system to download some recordings off a ReplayTV DVR. I liked the setup so much, I bought another one for the "big" video system.In short, once you change to NTSC, there is no problem using it in the USA. Both units came with an adapter for the end of the AC cord so you can plug it into American outlets.

I'm going to answer no with an explanation: The cables (1 is video signal (male) the other is power (female) are of a pigtail style hanging from the back of the camera to which you connect a similar 60' cable back to the DVR. The only ethernet on the DVR is for LAN or internet access. Whether or not it can be re-configured for balun looks doubtful as the menus don't include that option. If not, you'll still need the included wires to split the junctioned ethernet on the monitor side. I've just been doing a little reading on baluning and most of the concerns are about distance (camera to DVR) advantages gained by the lower cost of ethernet cable over coax weighted against power degradation. If this is just for the house it is really simple to install. I only bought the four cameras. They are arrayed along the front of my house. Drilled four holes (at camera mount), ran four cables to DVR, finally one to the AV input on the flat screen HDTV. Just hit AV and their images show up on screen. I hope this comes close to answering your questions. The only other thing I can think of is that baluning is more a matter of the hardware used for converting not the capture device itself, according to my reading. There are not individual ethernet inputs for the cameras. Also, the power supply for the cameras is another pigtail wall outlet. If I can answer anything else please don't hesitate. Found this link re customer support: http://videocamerarecorderss.blogspot.com/2012/11/buying-night-owl-security-sta-84-night.html. The language on some of the reviews is pretty clunky but is allegedly supported by amazon participants prog. I hope I've helped

I am using it with a hr22-100 which has 2 tuners so you have to run 2 coax cables as well as 2 sup-2400's.

I guess you can. I haven't tried. I would do it where your dvr is first. Attach the two. Them hook up the camera to see if it works. And pic quality. They also sell 300 footers. The shielded cable work way better than the skinny black wires that come w the camera set up. I swapt all my wires out. But I always check before. On my property that's a lot of work to find out the shielded cable didn't work. Or work back to back. I have 16 cameras. And never had any problems. I switch out cameras also as time go on.

That isnt the setup i have but based on my unserstanding of how the unit works, it should work. I have cable but no box and i ran the cable into the dvr so i would think that if you run a line out of the antenna into the dvr, it should work..

I am using an Audiovox ANT751R DGTL Outdoor Antenna. and am able to record 2 different channels at the same time without a splitter.It works great!

Yes, you can split the cable and record using the coax cable input on this device and bypass the cable DVR box. The DVR coax output on cable boxes is analog; therefore, this unit will not record from the cable DVR box. In addition, only broadcast HD TV channels can be recorded with this device.

This unit will not do what you want. It will allow a single cable to carry the satellite signal that goes between the dish and the satellite set top box plus one of almost any other TV or FM signal. The second signal can come from the output of a set top box, from cable tv or from an FM or DTV antenna. You generally need two of these, one to combine the signals on one end of the single cable and another to separate the two signals on the other end. If you are trying to combine DTV with the signal coming directly from the cable company, I don't know of a way to do that. Both signals are in the same frequency range so you would need an RF A-B switch to manually switch from one cable to another. http://www.amazon.com/RCA-VH71-Slide-Switch/dp/B00009W3F2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393281571&sr=8-1&keywords=RF+A-B+switch. If you are wanting to combine analog Channel 3 or 4 from the output of a cable box with the DTV signal, that can generally be done with a UHF/VHF combiner used to combine a VHF antenna with a UHF antenna. The DTV would go to the UHF input and the set top box would go to the VHF. http://www.amazon.com/Radioshack-Combiner-150-2586-Gold-Plated-Connectors/dp/B001VLPQ6K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393281247&sr=8-2&keywords=uhf%2Fvhf+combiner.

Sure you can. You will need a splitter box.One antenna in, 2 or more tv's out.Look up...antenna splitters. Cheers.(maybe tv splitters)

Yes, just plug the cable running from antenna into the unit. If you purchase a splitter you can go one cable into your t.v. and one into the unit. This will give you the ability to record and watch another channel at the same time.

If your DVR has BNC style inputs, you should be able to connect it. You don't have to use all the same brand or style.

Yes you can. I had 2 Prime units (6 tuners) connected to the cable and an HDHR (2 Tuners) connected to an antenna and it worked great. Just remember that Prime HDHR3's only work with cable and you can not connect them to an antenna if you cut the cable

I recommend that you use a coaxial splitter to split the signal to the RF In on box and the DTV In on your TV. In my experience, loop though is the reason why so many, myself included, have had issues with recordings.

One antenna with a splitter will work if the signal is strong enough. Every splitter weakens the signal and PC tuners are not as effective as tuners in regular tv or dvr's.
