It's a shame that the small broadcast TV providers get hosed by the big networks and sat providers. I guess I should be glad that DISH even offers an OTA option on their new receiver.

They do support OTA. Much like DISH though, it isn't built into their receivers anymore. If you want OTA, you need an add-on - same as DISH. The difference is that DTV uses a tuner box and DISH uses a tuner dongle.

My Genie had an OTA receiver and the guide data for all the sub-channels would populate. On the Hopper, most...

A low-VHF antenna would probably not do you much good in the future. The FCC has mandated that all broadcasting television stations move from those frequencies. The available spectrum is now 7 - 13 VHF and 14 - 69 (theoretically) with 37 and 51 reserved and 52 - 69 removed from broadcasting as...
