Is it possible to setup my system so that I am able to use my OTA signal (indoor HD antenna) to feed into my DVR (SA HD8300)?

Looking to record the OSU/Mich game in HD as opposed to the awful picture I typically get on Ch. 6 ABC watching via my cable box.

I am in Columbus with Time Warner service.

Thanks in advance.

no but i could put it on red laser HD DVD if you like for a nominal charge (disks). Keep in mind its going to be about, ohh 6 DVD's and will only play back in an HD DVD player though.

The simplest way to do this is to add an OTA-HD tuner to a PC. A four-hour, 720p capture should consume approximately 24GB of hard disk space. If you are so inclined you could archive the file somewhere and later use it as a source for whatever medium comes along in the future.

I'll not likely be watching the game on Saturday, let alone years from now...
