does this device pick up over the air sub channels of my local stations? It seems the good stuff is all broadcast on .1.2 etc.. channels.

Yes, it will pick up local "over the air" channels. These added channels show up on the "grid" and can be recorded on the Hopper DVR.

No, this receiver does not support HD radio reception. It will get any internet streams your local stations broadcast.

It does off my antenna. I am in the Pittsburgh market and I get all of the local networks substations like MeTV and the like. Hope this answer helps.

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.

Dish places the name of the channel with the local channel number. I think Dish places a dash in for the period in the channel number.

Yes. It will pick up the channels you have asked about. Example in my area: 9.1, 9.2, 21.1, 21.2, 21.3. Unit works very well. One thing to remember if you have a directional antenna outside on a tower, it may only pick up stations it is pointed at when you do a scan for channels.

I hooked it to my RV antenna and it works great. You have to do a scan in the setup mode for the tuner to find your local channels.

Only if your local programming offers it, Note: an antenna only picks up over the air channels

If you can get it to work, it will give you your local channels, I can't get mine to work

I haven't actually done so, but messing around with it, seems like it would pick up local channels if it had an antenna connected to it. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

I am using Over-the-Air antenna to receive TV signals. Put the setting on Plug&Play;, let the program detects the TV signals automatically, and i found I can receive about 15 broadcast stations. The drawbacks are signals effective by the weather conditions, sometimes I saw "the signal is too weak or broadcast is temporary unavailable". But most of the time was working very good. If you subscribe Cable service, I presumed this TV works pretty good. And price is very affordable.

Yes. When I first turned the TV on it gave me the option of scanning for local stations. I actually didn't use the feature so cannot speak to how well it works but I do know that it is offered.

You are liekly to have an issue with the tuner, too. It may not pick up foreign stations. Check with your intended location.

What I have noticed here in Memphis is that you have to periodically adjust the station. Some stations are not as clear/strong at my house but when I move closer to the city the interference increases and I have to change the frequency. It works on a moving vehicle very well if you can find a frequency that is not occupied strongly. It can overtake some broadcast frequencies as long as they are not super strong. Good luck

That depends. If you have a flat screen with multiple source inputs then yes. This does a fine job but it only brings in local stations within range.

The antenna is built for UHF frequencies, I may be wrong, but I don't believe what is broadcast over the frequency matters, but as far as I know, no one here in the states broadcasts the higher density digital signal. After some googling that suggests no new antenna is required to receive this signal, it suggested that broadcasters using it tend to broadcast with lower power output which would necessitate an antenna like this one that has a booster. I just gave my old one to my mother who was happy to get so many extra channels. Range is about 30 miles from broadcast source.

Beth do not buy. I returned mine. It is cheaap and did not pick up any over the air stations. Bill F. apt 3-C. I bought a different brand and picked up 21 stations in Brooklyn

it depends on how many local hd channels you have in your area. I was able to get around 10 or so local channels. once the hd signal locks into the converter, the channels show up automatically.

Yes. I live in the San Fernando Valley (CA) and my TV picked up 101 digital channels. I was also skeptical at first but this proved me wrong when I tried it this morning. The channels look great like others have said, although I noticed one channel, Fox TV (11.1), was blotchy and my TV eventually gave up looking for signal in about 10-20 seconds. One thing to keep in mind is that when your TV is auto-scanning for channels, make sure you set it to "Antenna" or "Air" (and NOT Cable), otherwise you will probably just see 1 analog channel like I did :).

Hello, I have the same set up as you. With this box I can only record the local stations. If there is a show that cable offers on their basic plan I can not record it unless it is in the area. I was hoping that this unit would pick up the unscrambled channels which are about 75 stations, from the cable line, but it does not do that for me.

It depends on where you live. I live in Manhattan and my antenna picks up all of the major networks, pbs, and a bunch of other stations I've never heard of.

Hi , I'm William ,I purchased this set a couple of months ago and at first I wasn't happy with it but I hooked it up to local cable and it gets all of the channels and I put it under my top kitchen cabinet and now I love it . Still trying to get it to play with the external antenna.
