No you cannot use them for OTA signals. They need to have an ATSC tuner to be able to do that. The SV8000 has one but those receivers do not. Sorry.

You need to get an ATSC converter box, or another device with a tuner built in. You can pick up a converter box at The Source or other electronics stores for under $100. Also check on Amazon....

Analog to digital convertors can be bought for as little as $40.

Use the "Check your address for Free TV" tool at tvfool.com. By entering your address and antenna height, you will get an accurate answer.
