The Off Air Input is useful when your receiver is connected to the TV tuner (as opposed to directly to line level inputs -- the preferred method).smitbret said:So what does <Off Air In> mean, then? I could hook an antenna to a converter box and run it through the D12 using the same input on my tv?
Like a VCR, when the D12 is off, it will pass through the antenna signal (again, only if you're connected to the TV's tuner) so the TV tuner can tune available local channels. No current DIRECTV receiver or DVR has a built-in OTA tuner.
