Does anyone know if Direct TV HD receivers allow you to continue receiving
OTA broadcasts after you terminate your Direct TV service?

I have heard both yes and no answers on this.

The older receivers will still receive OTA signals. I have a Mitsubishi HD5
that I still use for OTA in the grandkids playroom.

I cannot speak to the newer generation boxes.

I still have a Toshiba DST3000 DirectTV HD received connect (dropped the
account). I still use it for OTA reception (HD) and as long as I keep
the phone line connected the guide is updated regularly.

I don't know if models differ, but on mine (Samsung) the guide is
downloaded from the satellite ... not via phone line.

If a person never had the service can OTA HD signals still be received? Ie.
A home my brother moved in had a Direct TV dish on the roof and a receiver
left in the basement, can he receive OTA signals? Thanks

I have a first generation DTC-100. I used it for three years to capture
OTA HDTV and analog signals. I then switched from Dish to DirecTV and
continue to use the DTC-100 for OTA and DirecTV.

Shane, the guide info is downloaded from the satellite to the Toshiba
DST3000 as well. It just seemed that if I didn't keep the phone line
plugged in, nothing was updated. I assumed it was some kind of
confirmation between the box and the office (before guide would perform
the download).
