This may be a dumb question for some of you, but can anyone tell me what OTA is? i have directv and i am getting an hr21 hd dvr. Do i need the OTA feature which this model doesnt have? What do i need it for? I live in Los Angeles, california
Doesn't Directv Already Provide The Locals Channel?
OK MY TV COME WITH THIS DOES THIS COUNT AS OTA?
ATSC/NTSC & QAM Digital Television Tuners Definition: ATSC is the 8VSB (8-level Vestigial Sideband Modulation) system. This is the digital TV broadcast system chosen by the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) for broadcast TV in the USA. QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) is the digital TV system chosen by the U.S. Cable TV companies for use over digital cable. Toshiba integrated digital TVs have both ATSC and QAM digital tuning capability so that you can receive terrestrial digital broadcasts as well as digital "cable-in-the-clear" broadcasts.
ok that sounds good so i need to a special ant or any will do to plug into my astsc port?
ok thanks everyone for their feed back but i am just confused isnt directv suppose to provide locals channels in HD anyway?
