I think it assumes you're going to get the local channels from DirecTV

Yeah, that makes sense. Why would DirecTV build a box that makes it easy to skip out on their $4.00 per month fee? Leave that up to the third parties.

In any case, I'm able to get the digital OTA versions of most of my local channels, so I'm actually OK with it. I was just wondering why.

And I was fiddling with the menus and doing programming this morning, and although they're still pretty slow compared to that Samsung receiver, they seem to be a bit faster than the standard-def Tivo. Certainly within the tolerable range.

Thanks, guys!
