To John....
>A slight tangent:
>A friend of mine told me several months ago my DirecTV HR20 DVR was a prized possession since it has the ability to receive digital over-the-air TV. I moved the >antenna from the converter box to the HR20 and went through config, and there were the locals. The big issue is there is no tuning indicator for over-the-air that i>s easy to access (that I found.)
Also available with the Dish 211k HD receiver; only thing is that the electronic program guide (EPG) does not have a clue as to the programming. What I do is have the batwing antenna through a splitter feed both the TV and the Dish Receiver so that I may check out the local OTA signals so as to best position the batwing before going through the re-installation of the hard dirve to the satellite receiver. The guide only shows "Digital Service" when away from the local (Louisville) area.
BTW, I checked out the Grayson Highlands park after Gaffney...I'll comment on that some other time.
