I don't know, but in the early years of HD broadcasting, receiver performance was pretty poor, going by what the guys in "Stereophile's Guide To Home Theater" had to say. The technology has improved a heck of a lot, to the point where you can get a receiver in a tiny USB dongle for under $100. So, performance may have improved some more in 4 years or so.

If I had over-the-air HDTV available, I'd get a tuner for my computer, probably a Hauppauge card type, and run some PVR program like BeyondTV. Somewhere like antennaweb or AVSforum may have comparisons of receivers or computer tuners.
