I have a few HBH-SA receivers and just bought a digital antenna. I was wondering if I could use these receivers to view the local digital broadcasts. In other words do these receivers have a digital tuner for the external antenna. Also, if I drop my DirecTV service can I still use the receivers with the antenna?
Does HBH-SA receiver have an ATSC tuner for antenna?

Nope to all - none of the Hughes SD receivers had OTA tuners...if you need OTA digital tuning, get your 2 converter box coupons 
You should look for the LG 3200a or one of its clones, the Sony HD200 and HD300. They are very nice ota digital receivers and work without a Directv subscription.
I'm not sure clone is the right word. The Sony and Hughes were built under contract by LG as are some new D* receivers. There were also some Zenith receivers built by LG but I believe LG now owns the Zenith Brand.

I am pretty sure the Sony HD200 and HD300 are virtually the same as the LG3200a. I know the HD200 is. I thought the Hughes was, but I never owned one of them.
