Ok,
So as I am assuming is the case for everyone, Dish has started charging me $10/month for local channels. I live in Dallas, TX so all of those local channels that I am paying for I can undoubtedly get using an OTA Antenna (I don't one one, but I live in the city and would be shocked if I can't get them all).
Having said that, I'd love to stop paying that $10/mo, but have a few concerns/questions I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
1) When unsubscribed from Local channels and use an OTA Antenna for those same channels, how do they show up on the Guide? Do shows still show up the same????
2) How does my DVR recording capability work with the OTA Antenna local channels? Specifically timers.......will I have to recreate all my timers for the new OTA Antenna? Will timers still work and record in the same manner?
3) Prime Time Any Time.....does this still work with the OTA Antenna? I'm guessing no.
4) Are there any disadvantages that I'm not thinking about with this change? I watch a LOT of shows on the prime time channels that have the DVR Record via timers and then I watch days later. It is very important that I'm still able to do this.....just want to make sure I'm not making a mistake.
Thoughts from the group here???
