I plan on watching HD shows such as football and other games, speed channel, espn, or even some movies in HBO if avail in HD. I also watch local stuff such as Fox, ABC, etc. I'm not sure about local OTA HD you're talking about, I've never seen or heard anything about that on either Dish, DirectTV, or TimeWarner's site. When I checked price, they came out to be the same in my area for what I need such as HD box/tuner for my widescreen tv and just normal stuff on other tvs since we never watch it.



You might look into over the air (free). It might suit your needs and save you money. Otherwise, I'd go w/ a carrier that doesn't require a contract, just in case.
