Hook Indoor HDTV antenna

[justrelaxing]

I currently have Dish and the DVR 625. I subscribe to the 120 channels. I am within 40 miles of the local channel HDTV channels. I do not know how to hook this up so that i can pick up local channels in HDTV. Is this possible?

A really good place to start:

http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx

It will give you a good picture of what type of antenna you need and where to point it. Good luck.

I did go to that site. That is how I found out that i am close enough. I just dont know how to actually set it up if I buy one. In the back of the DVR625 I guess....

The 625 doesn't have an OTA tuner at all. You'd only be able to use the 625 to pass the signal on to your TV.

If the towers are about 40 miles then you will most likely not have any luck with an indoor antenna.

Do you have a 625 or is it a 622? If it is a 625 it is a standard definition receiver and you will never get HDTV through it.

That is a Standard Def receiver..In order to recive HD locals via antenna your tV must be HDTV "built in"... have it's own atsc tuner....
