    Is local channels required now?

    Sorry if this is a repeat question, but my searches weren't successful. I've been getting local channels thru my rooftop antenna all this time and avoiding the $5 charge. Looks like when I tried to sign up for the free HD promo, local channels are required now. Is there any way to get around...

    cost of adding additional receiver

    I currently have a 622 installed. I would like to add another HD receiver, either a 211 or 622, whichever one is cheaper. Can someone let me know what the total costs would be with either of these receivers - installation + monthly charge. Thanks in advance.
