Looking for a receiver that can also tune antenna channels.

Does anyone make a Dish receiver that can seamlessly tune the signals from my antenna as well as the satellite channels?

I get all my local channels from my attic antenna with no problem, but I have to juggle two remotes and keep switching inputs to get from antenna to Dish receiver. Why can't the receiver, which already passes my antenna signal through it, do the tuning for all channels? Perhaps it's to persuade me to buy my locals from Dish?

Dish network model 5000 (no longer manufactured, might be able to find a good used one from dbsforums.com/classifieds or ebay) does this. The only other reciever they have with a tuner option is the model 6000 which is for HD.

The new DISH 811 does that as well. See http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Dishn...s/Dish_811.htm
