theils,

It sounds like you have set up correctly. Your Direct is HDMI, and doesn't necessarily have to be off, but it's okay that it is.

Now your focus is on your tuner co-ax. You may be able to set it to either the NTSC (old) or ATSC (new) signals, but not both at the same time. So if you want the older local channels that haven't switched over, you may have to toggle between the NTSC and ATSC formats to get the local channels you want.

Had the changeover gone as planned 11 days ago, this probably wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, it seems like this may be the temporary inconvenience to endure in the meantime.

I hope that helps.
