No... Andraade11,
There is nothing exclusive of using a
HDMI port...
you can have it all.
You are still able to switch right back
to your old configuration...
I believe you merely need to step through your
"
SOURCES"
Unless Dish us incredibly behind the curve
they used a
HDMI to bring their signal to your set...
and add ($$$) a
LOCAL "OPTION" into
their feed... but if you
ALREADY had an antenna
hooked up... you should be able to switch right back to that source... or a VIDEO PLAYER obviously IF you have one)
and/or a SECURITY screen
(if you have a compatible camera or server)
Etc. etcetera...
