Dish Network 811 box and OTA HD Signals

[rlaurinojr]

Hello,

I have a Dish Network 811 HD Box that has not been activated.
I was planning on using it for SkyAngel (I have a projector that needs
component output) and for OTA HD feeds. My question is if I activate the box will it open up the functionality of the OTA Tuner? If I were to cancel
would it deactivate it?

Thank-you,

Ray

IIRC all you have to do is hook it to a satellite that sees 119 and it will work OTA, even unsubbed. I could be wrong - just off the top of my head.
