Please explain your question a little better? Are you asking about DTV converter boxes?

Wouldn't you only have one of those boxes if you didn't have Dish? I mean, they aren't so you can get Dish Network, they are so you can get your basic OTA channels, right? Originally Posted by boba SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, THERE REALLY IS A DIFFERENCE AND IT ISN'T HARD TO FIGURE OUT!!!

There probably isn't going to be a lot of need for the converter box to be operated by the satellite remote. The DTV PAL (TR40 by Echosphere) has the greatest odds of having a code. Zenith/Magnavox/RCA DTV boxes will also have a chance that another code for some other product of theirs will turn on and off and change channels on their box. Originally Posted by pjm8047

Sorry that you have been so misinformed if DISH delivers your locals today they will deliver them on Feb.18,2009 just like they do today. Originally Posted by Jim5506

The OP does not subscribe to locals.
I would suggest finding a used/cheap 811 , its GUI is the same as the 301 but it includes an OTA tuner and UHF remote. You could eliminate the need to control another box or switch inputs.
While the 811 was designed for HD it is now obsolete for Dish HD and it works fine on SD tvs. It also would not generate any extra fees if you swapped out the 301.
