I have a Dish811 HD receiver but no longer have Dish Service - now useing DirectTV. I recently got a second HD TV and want to use the 811 for Off the Air HD signals, but can't get past the setup menu on the 811 where it is looking for a satellite signal. Is there some way I can use the 811 for OTA only?

I'm pretty sure that if the receiver is not "activated" from Dish Network it will not let anything pass. My dad tried the same thing with a DirecTV receiver and it would not work either. I have the same receiver and when it went on the blink, I could not get HD OTA signals either.
