I am a Direct TV subscriber and receive my locals from them as well (Boston). I also have a triple LNB and oval dish installed. I have a HD compatible TV and was going to purchase a HDTV satellite receiver. If I subscribe to DirectTV's HD package, will I be able to receive the local broadcasts in HDTV?
My main goal it to get the remaining football games in HDTV on CBS.
Any advice on how to obtain them would be appreciated!

Direct TV is supposed to get the CBS HD feed, I dont know exactly when so in the short term you need to put up an antenna and try the Over The Air method.

Try to get locals OTA...free TV is a good thing. You may not need an expensive antenna to get them. I have a $20 indoor antenna and I get all the local digital channels just fine. Just make sure you get a satellite receiver that also serves as an OTA HD tuner (if your TV doesn't have one already).
