I do have two questions, if I may?
1. What's the terrain like around your place?
2. What's the connection from the recorder to the TV? Did you need to add an RF modulator, or does the recorder (hopefully!) have a built-in RF modulator output to, say, channel 3 or 4?

Tom, the terrain between my house and the TV towers is pretty much all flat open prairie. The towers range between 2 and 30 miles away or so. Apparently according to the manual, the DVD unit/digital tuner does not have a built in RF modulator...it has an antenna output but not sure what function that serves...maybe just a pass-through from the input? I have the composite video output/audio hooked up to a seperate RF modulator.
