Can you get local HD with Satellite?

[Brigadeer]

This is a big question for me in making my HDTV purchasing decision. I have this question on another post.

Alot of what I want to watch in HD is going to be transmitted by my local station OTA. That said, I dont want to spend the extra money on an integrated HDTV if I dont have to.

Can you buy an HD Ready TV, and then purchase HD Satellite, and still receive local HD broadcasts without the integrated chip in your HD Ready TV?

I don't think local HD will be availible on Satellite any time soon. You can however get a STB that has support for both Satellite and OTA.

Or you can contact your cable company and see what HD stuff they have to offer.
