    Thanks to a lot of help from people in this forum, I was able to connect my HR-24 to the internet three or four years ago.

I've seen some threads discussing the fact that the DirecTV HD receivers can integrate in the OTA signals for local channels (and the subchannels, too, I believe), and the HD DVR can even record the OTA versions of the channels. That seems like...
