> Jay if you do go DTV be careful on the HD-DVR reciever you get, the one they seem to be shipping now and selling in the store (HR21 which is colored glossy black) has not OTA spot since you prefer OTA you want a HR20 box. Not sure how many if any local hd’s DTV carries.

You will not get an HR20. We do not stock them anymore and they have already been completely phased out. I wish we did still have the HR20’s but they will soon be a thing of the past anyway. The HR21 is the better HD DVR, just nobody knows it yet. Wait until more people start to use the On-Demand. But it is very hard to tell a customer that they just paid $299 for a receiver that has rendered their OTA useless. But still you could not pay me to switch, I love My DirecTV, DirecTV\>\*
