I cant find the list of DTV receivers which can receive HD OTA without a DirecTV subscription. The old list I looked at a while back is a dead link now. I was going to get a cheap one off of ebay. Does the H10 do this if it has the card in it?
Receiver for OTA HD only

I don't know about the H10, but the LG 3200a, the Sony HD200 and HD300 and the Hughes HTL without a subscription.
An old Voom receiver would also work, assuming:
1. The receiver had been activated
2. The owner did not cancel Voom service prior to [company] shut-down with the receiver hooked up so it was de-activated.

On Ebay search for Hisense there are some USDTV boxes going for about $60. Or just search on Ebay for HDTV Receivers. Samsung TS 360 can be added to previous models H10 I believe needs a D* signal.
Thanks for this information! I recently retired my Sony SAT-HD 300 and was thinking about fleabaying it, but now I think I will use it in the garage.
Is it just me or does anyone else hate to sell something they paid major $ (granted, years ago) only to see it command 10-20 % of the original selling price?
Does the DTV card need to be installed? Thanks for your help.
I can't help but wonder if I am missing something.. Why would someone want a receiver that gets just the HD OTA. If you have an HD TV, your TV should get the HD OTA. If you don't have an HD TV, then one of those free Converters would pick up the OTA for an old SD set.. What am I missing here.
Not every hd tv has an atsc tuner in it. All of the new ones sold now have them, but a couple of years ago it wasn't the case. They were called monitors, or hd ready, or hd capable.
Ahhh.. Monitors.. I remember those.. I completely forgot about those. See I knew I was missing something. 
Yes I do have an HD tv, but I'm wanting it for my stand-alone DVR for recording locals, which only does analog, and no digital tuner. I have cable, but the analog locals on it do not look as good when recorded on the DVR. I did get one of those converters for $10 plus govt coupon, and it worked great, but it died on me after 2 months of use. I lost my receipt, so I've decided to get a quality receiver at a bargain price. The govt only sent me 1 coupon, and I'm too cheap to spend $50-$60 on this. The H10's are going on ebay for $15-$20 including shipping.
