Re: Just ordered Direct-TV question local HD channels........

This should have come up at checkout if you performed an on-line order. An AM21 costs $50 and allows you to incorporate broadcast local stations into your HR2x DirecTV DVR.

If your stations are available over an antenna, this shouldn't be much of a problem. You may be able to convince a representative at DirecTV to waive the $50 fee for the AM21 by claiming there wasn't sufficient information about this when you ordered.

An AM21 will have to be connected to an antenna and then to your HR21 or HR22. You will then be presented with local HD stations as if they were part of the DirecTV line up, and will be able to record programs and schedule as if you got them from satellite.

Your alternative is to seek a waiver, and hope to get it. With some networks it is easier than others. Of late it is harder to do than in years past.

Good luck!
