Hey all! I dont have a bev subscription or a satellite dish or anything of the like but my friend left a bev 4100 reciever when he moved and gave me it..

I see theres an TV ANT in thing and i read that this reciever actually does work with OTA..

I tried plugging it in but only says like.. looking for satellite and bunch of text..
and nothing else..

And + I cant find the remote that goes with it..

so first, can anybody confirm this works with OTA, and if so, what are the steps i need to take to make it work.. i plugged in my antenna in that hole..

and if a.. RCA Universal remote could possibly work on that.. or do i need absolutely that exact same model. thanks!

It does not work with OTA.

if you dont have the user manual handy, try this
hold the tv button down, till all devices flash, then the tv button should be the only one lit
press the power button
then press the channel up button (make sure your tv is on)
press it one at a time (it will send out different remote codes for each flash)
if the tv turns off, press the pound button to lock the frequency
then try and turn the tv on
im pretty sure this is the way to program it

Just to elaborate on Hughs' response, this receiver does not have a Digital OTA Tuner.

The TV Ant In port you see would be suitable for say basic Cable or Analogue OTA, NOT Digital.

Any basic Bell Remote (The Blue Button IR models) will work just fine with a 4100. The higher end 5900 remote will also work but are somewhat more expensive and you will not gain anything by using one.

Well I tried with my RCA remote and it works..

and yes Pinza, Analog signal would be fine but im in the menus and i cannot find an option to have it see my analog signals... only says.. please standby for the satellite signal.. but i dont have dish plugged in or anything just my TV antenna :s

I think it only works via the "F" connector connection to the TV if I remember correctly. So there is NO advantage over connecting the analog OTA directly into the TV.

oh ok cuz I was trying to do this only to get advantage of the video-out from the reciever.. because i have no video out on my tv and i wanna make it go to my capture card on my pc.. and i thought it would get my analog signals from the reciever and then get the video out from there

Pretty sure you are out of luck.
