OTA HD box and Tivo hook-up, pic quality question

[ctoddt]

I'm looking into getting DirecTV with Tivo. I'd like to hook up an OTA HD box for local HD. My question is can I hook this up to record these channels (obviously not in HD). I suppose to get my HD I'd have to hook into another input on my TV. Has anyone here done this?

If the picture quality on this would not be ANY better than the DirecTV locals, then I wouldn't have to worry about doing this.

Are you getting a DirecTivo or a stand alond Tivo with a DirecTV HD box. If your getting a DirecTivo, no, it can only record off the satellite. If your getting a DirecTV HD box and stand alone Tivo it can be done but not easily.

I guess you answered my question. What I am thinking about getting was a DirecTivo and a stand-alone HD box with an antenna. How is the picture quality on the DirecTivo?

This may be obvious, but it would seem logical to get the
DirecTivoHD Then you will have everything all together.
