Bill,Yes it's true.
You have to have on Over The Air (OTA) antenna to get the HD channels presently on DirecTV.
Dish network has secured permissions to broadcast the East and West Coast HDTV feeds for CBS, and if your local affiliate doesn't object, you can get that channel on either the 61.5 or 148 satellite from Dish. It's tough to hit the 148 sat here in Chicago, as the elevation is only 14 degrees.
I just put up an OTA antenna (I live in Elgin) and get NBC, ABC, WGN and Fox via digital -- I can't get a strong enough feed out of CBS at the moment to get it OTA - but I will be working on that soon enough. I'm getting the East Coast feed so that isn't a big issue presently, but I'd like to be able to get local CBS on OTA too.
Post back or e-mail if you'd like to discuss this further.
