Default OTA HD Tuner / DVR ???

Does anybody make an OTA HD Tuner / DVR? My HDTV does not have a built in HD Tuner. If I could, I would just snag my locals with an external OTA HD Tuner.....and it would be real nice if they had one that has a DVR built into it. Does this exist? I like the idea of recording local HD programing on something like this, while watching Directv stuff and recording on that DVR at the same time.

I'm not talking about a box for Directv. I am talking about just a DVR with a HD Tuner in it to use just for OTA HD signals. Something less than $300 stones. I already have the HR-21 and the H-21. Directv will not give me a HR-20 or a H-20. They say I have to just stick with what they gave me. I want to keep the receivers I have, but just want to add a seperate OTA HD Tuner that has a DVR built into it. I want one that will scan for the locals, put them in a guide, and record the shows I want to record

Tivo.com

The Tivo service isn't the cheapest but the functionality crushes all the others.

Sony DHG-HDD500 60-Hour High-Definition Digital Video Recorder (500 GigaBite)

I own this model and I must say its great, it has its own channel menu and the picture is great....the only drawback is it has a steep learning curve the menu is a little confusing..
It will most likely run you $500 .00 or more...
there is also a 250 gig unit... I believe the only place you can find them is on ebay...good luck .
