Please excuse my ignorance; but I just signed up for D* and will have my Genie installed on Saturday. I was aware that Sinclair is trying to pull our West Palm Beach CBS channel; but couldn't wait anymore to get off of Comcast. I have wanted D* for too long and disliked Comcast even longer.
I have been reading posts about being able to use OTA for the local channels, which would solve the Sinclair issue for me; but I am not sure how to do it. In reading the Genie manual, it appears that there is a way to select OTA for locals; but it doesn't say much. I am trying to find out if I can do it for just one channel. Fortunately, the one channel I need can be captured nicely with rabbit ears; but the other locals aren't quite as good that way.
Can I use an antennae for just one channel?
If so, does anyone know how to do it?
If not, is there another alternative?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Mike
