Duo vs. Quatro Question

[hdhr-dan]

I just purchased a used Quatro to replace a Duo to have 2 more tuners available to avoid possible recording conflicts. I've had the Duo for about a year and it's consistently pulled in about 60 channels - all that are available in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as far as I know. When I hooked up the Quatro and ran several channel scans, it only pulls in between 45-50 channels, missing several that are must-have for me.

My question is, does the Quatro typically pull in less channels than a Duo because it's dividing the incoming signal between 4 tuners vs just 2 for the Duo? Or is the Quatro box possibly defective? Thanks for any info on this matter.

Hi,

Reception should be the same.

Can you please enable "Send diagnostic information" on the device then run a channel scan. This can be done via HDHomeRun Setup on a Windows machine (Advanced tab), or by going to http://my.hdhomerun.com/ and clicking on the device, then System Menu.

Once the scan completes please reply back with the Device ID.

Hi Nick,

Okay, I just ran the channel scan with Send Diagnostic Information turned on. The device ID is 10774BB8. Thanks.

Your signals are just not very good in general, and looking through the scans there are a few that the Quatro got that the Duo didn't (KDFI, ION), and a few that the Duo got that the Quatro didn't (PBS, KTXA). You may need to make some adjustments to your antenna to find a better position in general.

Had the same problem here in Garland area of DFW. Noticed there are about 8-10 stations that are no longer broadcasting. Think it was 44.1-8 was in there. 79 Stations on Quattro and 88 on Connect.
