I currently have a four room setup with a 522 on my TV.

I have looked at an antenna, but it looks like my TV does not have a HD tuner, it is just HD Ready.

Is my only option paying an extra 15$ a month to E* & buying a 811 or 921 for 500-1000?

Thanks!

If you want to stay with E* then the 811 and 921 are the only options available now, unless you find a 6000+8PSK+8VSB box on E-Bay or something, sorry.

Not knowing where you live, you could by from walmart the USDigital receiver and then buy the RCA 1200 series antenna and you should be all set to receive OTA HD.
