Tim what you just described is the bad news, the good news is the local channels should be in HD on your new antenna in the next 6 to 12 months. Detroit, SF and a few others already have them and they are rolling it out as fast as possible. From what I was told all the major metropolitan areas are supposed to be available without needing the extra antenna before 2007. I was a little miffed about this myself. By the way I bought my HD DVR from Best Buy and it is compatible with the local channel dish so I am not sure I would trust the DTV rep that told you it would not work. Here it does not help because we cannot get Line of Sight over the air signals anyway.
