only if there where 100 HD channels available

Direct tv's 100 hd channels are just dual feeds one wst one east. there isn't 100 HD channels or networks out there.. YET. FYI you can get your local Hd for free soemthign you can't with any of the others

I cannot even get my locals through Directv let alone through an antenna (and absolutely no hope for HD locals).

So how about that, can DirecTV at least provide me with LO-DEF Fox, NBC, etc?

All this bull about HD and I just want to watch freakin TV!

Why can't you get local TV stations? Terrain? If so, I'll bet that some time in the not-too-distant past, your community had a perfectly good CATV system to deliver OTA TV to your home.

Although you're certainly in the deep-fringe area for terrestrial broadcast TV reception, you should still be able to get a viewable signal from Buffalo, using a deep-fringe antenna mounted atop a sufficiently tall mast.

You'll probably have better luck getting 480i ATSC than analog at a decent S/N ratio. For analog reception, you need at least 40 dB of S/N, but digital works just fine at S/N ratios as low as 6 dB. So stick an RF preamp up on the antenna and add an antenna rotator, and you might be able to get Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
