We are on the fringe area for OTA programs but get them through Dish to insure reception - but the excellent guide information is worth the $5 per month alone.
I am too far away from the cities to get OTA without adding a $1000.00 antenna set up. Yeah, I would need a very tall tower to start with to see the networks and everything else.
For the guide info only and recording more than 2 locals at once even if that means using one or more of the horrible SD feeds I get around here.
Actually, for me, the guide info, particularly for the networks, is off; especially during prime-time. I have had House cut-off at the end multiple times because the guide was wrong; same for Heroes and several other shows at one time or another. It frustrates the hell out of me...
i had the same problem, i just adjusted the recordings to add a few mins to the end of the programs.
I am about 110 miles from the transmitter towers, in a low lying area, and am not covered by LP translators.
You have to have a have a very big antenna on a tall mast or tower.
An antenna on the rooftop doesn't cover it.

Added guide info option...
might be a better choice to kill the poll and start a new one????
Just another poll with inadequate choices.
I want to watch local news and weather,
I want to watch network programming,
I want to be able to record more than one program at any one time,
I can't get locals OTA,
I want guide info for advance recording situations
Perhaps a poll would be more useful if better thought out and ability to check multiple choices.
Sorry, I'm in a grumpy mood today.............

It's not so much the guide info is off but the networks not exactly starting and stopping right at the hour. This is true of Heroes. If you don't have HD for locals, as I don't, and DVR Heroes and CSI Miami OTA, it won't matter what you put for adding minutes to Heroes...it ain't gonna happen.
I didn't do the poll but I subscribe to locals so I can setup the DVR through the guide, especially for New Episodes. You can't setup manually New Epsiodes only.
