OTA HD and Tivo

How does Over The Air HD work with Tivo? Does anyone have experience? Can I cancel my Tivo subscription if I dont need their EPG?

I am assuming I can use the signal from the antenna as a source and then set my Season Passes to be hard coded to channel and time.

Is there a better solution?

Only the first gen of TiVos could be used as dumb VCRs. Without service, your HD TiVo is a brick destined for eBay.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could install FreeVo or MythTV on a TiVo drive? Could have saved me $1200 on four lifetime service fees.
