Question:
Is it possible to receive HD over the air channels thourh Direct TV or Dish Network HD receivers without subscribing to their programming? I have a HD ready TV but not the tuner so I am trying to find out if I can use the Tuner from the DTV or DN tuner. Thanks in advance.
Answer:
Have you tried? Good question, I know the software that controls your HD sat receiver is downloaded from the company and this software controls a lot of the capability of the rec. like letting you add your local channels that you get off air via outside antenna to the guide, it controls the type of signal and how it is translated for your specific TV screen type, so I suspect you can't but why not give it a try, just connect your outside antenna to the appropriate input on the rec. and the receiver to the TV. and try it.
NO
