HVR 1600 - QAM Issue with Local HD

subhadipsas · #1 04-14-2008, 01:02 PM

I have followed all the instructions and setup the HVR 1600 with the FIOS cable from the wall hooked up (through a monster 2GHz 2 way splitter) connected to the ATSC port of the HVR 1600 using a RG6 cable. I am getting 50+ QAM channels, but they are all SD (about 40 are music channels). I am not getting any HD locals. When I disconnect this cable from the HVR 1600 and connect it to the Panasonic HDTV directly - I get all the SD channels AND the HD locals. What am I doing wrong?

Does anybody know if an inline amplifier will help? Can it be that the TV and STB can work with a lower signal whereas the HVR 1600 needs higher signal? I can't think of any other difference!

Last night I purchased a RCA 4 way cable amplifier and my problem is resolved

!! All local HD channels showed up after a rescan. I think the HVR 1600 needs a higher signal than what a TV or STB needs.
