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?
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).

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.

I called directv yesterday and the lady tried to instruct me on how to go into setup and change the dish to the type I have but it didn't work.
Apparently the lady didn't know that the H25 is SWiM-only and that it won't work without a SWiM dish or a SWiM switch connected to a legacy dish.
