I just bought a Replay unit. I have changed from cable to antenna.
1. I've gone through the entire setup and keep getting the blue drop down screen that says No video available. I get video and audio when Replay is off, but when blue light is on [Replay on] I get no video screen rather than TV channels.
2. When I get the Channels Available listing - all I get are 4 channels[which are not ones in my area]. While watching just TV I get at least 34 channels [w/o Replay]. The four channels are not channels that I even get in my zip code while watching TV.

As replied to you on AVSForum, the ReplayTV only supports analog broadcasts or using an external tuner box (STB). If you really want to use it with current over-the-air broadcasts, then you have to get a digital OTA tuner and connect that to the ReplayTV via the external connections. You also will have to get your channel listings from another source as ReplayTV does not support this setup...

Or, you have to get an analog broadcast to the ReplayTV, like possibly from your cable provider as they are really the only other source of analog broadcasts...

So, your choices are: you can't use the ReplayTV, you get a digital OTA set top box and get your guide service from some other source (if you read the LaHo topic, it supports OTA lineups), or you get an analog broadcast feed to your ReplayTV...
