Could you talk a little about FTA, links to good info in particular 
links would be appreciated. Have had Directv for 8 years, thinking about 
going HD, but really would like DVR that could record whatever signals 
are coming in including OTA sub channels. Having to program both a 
receiver and a VCR is a pain.

Last Sunday I chased out Dish Network after 4 hours of install that 
resulted in a snowy picture to my network. Their 722 receiver has a 
"Distribution" port, that even has a programmable attenuator, that 
probably I wouldn't use, but they absolutely refused to even try it, 
although the manual shows a nice picture with a splitter to 4 TV's. It 
took me 3 hours to get my system usable, rescan the TV's in OTA (not 
cable), and reinstall my 2nd Directv receiver.
> Between OTA HD and FTA satellite I could just about dump the pay dish.
