My local Cleveland Indians RSN, STO, and MPEG4 HD locals look excellent via the HR20. Can't tell the difference in PQ between cable or OTA. Just wondering if anyone has measured how many bits/second D* allocates to an MPEG4 HD channel? AT&T is talking about squeezing their U-Verse HD channels...

I have a new HR20 that was connected to satellite, activated and downloaded the latest software. However, I have moved it to a different location where no dish is installed yet. Is there a way to use the HR20 as just an OTA receiver until I get the dish hooked up? Right now it just sits...
