It doesn't help with CBS Sports Network, but DirecTV users who have an HR44 or an HR54 model DVR and are in markets with a CBS O&O should be able to call DirecTV and order a free Local Channel Connector (LCC), which is a separate box that connects to the DVR via USB, receives OTA channels, and integrates them with the satellite channels in the DVR.

The LCC is currently only available to DirecTV users in areas where there's an OTA channel dispute, so this is my chance.) > On Jul 22, 2019, at 8:51 AM, David Risner <[email protected]> wrote: > > It's not just the OTA CBS stations that are our.
