I am going to hook this up on a post at my camper. I already have all of my DTV receivers. Is this what I want to buy?

Mine was "bent" when it arrived. It wouldn't work. If you have Direct TV you can have a second unit with no cost if you promise not to use both at the same time. No problem for me as we are either in one place or the other. You just have to move one of your units to the second location. With Direct you will need their "special" hook-up.It will not work otherwise.

Hi missy, your DIRECTV Receiver SHOULD have an HDMI output. If indeed it's an HD Receiver. Just connect it straight to one of your HDMI Inputs on your display. What model do you have? H20, HR21?For your onkyo, you should connect your DIRECTV straight to your surround system, using an optical or digital coaxial cable.PS3? I don' t know much about game consoles. I'll ask my brother who knows more about this than I do, and get back to you.

If the receiver has any of the following outputs: RF, component, red/blue/green or HDMI... then you should be just fine.

Yes it will. The receiver is the main part you need to bring in the HD signals.

2 possibles come to mind right away.. 1 is you might need to raise it up a little higher. 2 you might be too far from the station. you can check what you should be getting here http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/

Analog pass through may be of interest to some, but probably most folks don't need it, and it shouldn't be a factor in their purchase decision. There is no major TV station in my area that doesn't already broadcast its programs on DTV. That is probably true of most areas. By 2009, it will be the case almost everywhere.

I am looking to buy this receiver and wanted to know the same thing. Did you ever get an answer?

this is a complete system, no need for a receiver. you can plug it directly to your TV.RandallOnlyfactorydirect

This device should work, however, if your TV isn't capable of outputting high quality sound (Dolby, DTS, etc) your receiver audio may sound not as good as it could be but it should work.

You bet it works for that! I'm 40+ miles away from the DTV transmitter sites. Have a CM4228 antenna in the attic. Been using an EDA-2100 to boost the signals. Works great! In fact, I just cascaded a second amp to improve our Fox TV affiliate signal just a bit. So I have two of these amps essentially on series. No overload, and they work great in this configuration.

This satellite dish is not for HD Receiver, you will need to order the HD dish. Dish also offers a smaller receiver box for campers. The reason I know this is my brother has HD service from Dish and uses this set up while camping with our family, works very well and Dish customer service is good about assisting camper folks like us. Hope this helps!

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.

You need a TV connected so that your receiver can have a signal. Should be fine when you get your TV connected. I have seen that message before.

I agree with L. Cheng, Amazon allows returns so I would purchase and return as "defective" if you don't get the channels you expect or if it does not perform as expected. Also, try this website for channels available in your area, but it would of course depend on where you put the antenna.http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/

You need and HD source. OTA antenna if you can pick up locals, sat., or cable box with HDMI or component outputs.

I think you can find a better receiver for less than you'll pay for this one, do your research. I'm not very happy with the performace and the pirce I paid for it at the time, guess should done my homework and a leson learn for me. good luck.
