re: Hooking up an HD Antennae to Direct TV Genie box?

Lot of misinformation in this thread. As for using an OTA antenna with the Dish Hopper, all that's required is the $20.00 OTA module which simply plugs into a USB port. You let the Hopper scan for channels, save any you want to keep & done - the OTA channels will appear in your normal Dish guide and are easily identified by a different guide color. There is no activation fee and rain has no effect on the signal. I can't imagine being without one - OTA available throughout the home, excellent backup system, additional channels and ability to use the DVR for OTA content.
