Is this easy to do? Or do I need to hook it directly to my tv? Can I DVR OTA locals? Will the Directv installation guy help me out? Thanks!

What Nutflush said :up
Also, another thing you can do is SPLIT your OTA line and run one into the DVR and the other into your TV tuner.

Assuming you get hd locals from Directv, why would you split the ota line? If your signals are marginal at all, you may not have enough signal strength at either tuner.
Seeing he mentioned OTA I presumed that he does NOT get the locals from D*.

If he is really in the St Louis dma, he gets them from Directv.
any word when this might be?Why ???
When Toledo HD finally gets turned on, I will still be getting them from my OTA set up, why pay extra money for something that you already get for free ?

During periods of rain fade, I use the OTA feed to my television for the local channels, primarily during primetime, and to check the weather sub-channels.
To each his own!

Locals are included in your package, you won't be paying extra for them. You're already "paying" for them basically.
Unless the OP is interested in KETC HD, WRBU HD or any of the subchannels that aren't available LIL.If he is really in the St Louis dma, he gets them from Directv.

That would be the KETC reference.I believe PBS could be included in that list as well.![]()
