H-20 lack of analog tuner?
I just received the H-20 as an upgrade to my samsung hd receiver. The upgrade was for additional features for the Superfan package. I find myself in a dilema. I was on the phone for 1 1/2 hours last night. It seems no one knows if the local analog OTA can be received by the H-20. They are even sending out a service call on Saturday. I'm pretty sure the guy is going to wast a trip.
Since not all of my local channels are digital I now have to change inputs and channels to get the ones the H-20 won't receive. Also there is no input for the VCR as the samsung had. I could easily record directly to the VCR even from the guide with the infrared transmitter. Please don't tell me there is only an ATSC receiver in the unit. That make me think they want me to now pay for the convenience of the analog locals. I know it's only $3 extra but that's not the point. I can already receive them analog and HD for Free. Not it is less convenient to record programming. Hmmmm seems like I'm being let toward the DVR for a few hundred more dollars. Seems like everytime I turn around DTV is wanting more and giving me less.
