YMMV on what locals you get. It used to be that you could still run an off air ant into your reciever but a lot of the new DTV equipment does not have that option. I was really kind of [censored]ed off when we got our new DVR (had the old TiVO HD DTV) but couldn't get B10 Network in HD with it. So, when we made the switch to the new DVR I lost off air ant running into it. So, that all sucks eggs.
I could still runn the off air into the TVs themselves... and I may if I ever get up the nerve to get that far up on my roof...
So, if it is a big issue for you, ask them what options you have in terms of recievers and see if you can get something that has off air inputs... or run off air directly into the TV.
Best of luck. Frankly, I don't miss the off air too much. We picked up a few extra local things (e.g. NBC 5 in Chicago had a weather channel and some other stuff)... but it's hardly worth flipping out over with B10 Network in HD. Fair trade. Cake or eat it I guess.
