set top box or combination satellite receiver rgb

Hello
Would anyone know of a receiver or combination satellite and set top box to view local channels from antenna on side of house that would have rgb output for full 1080i to an older loewe aconda which only can be viewed with rgb input? Receiver would also need oat tuner for 1080i uncompressed signal from antenna. Anyone with knowledge of such a receiver would be appreciated.

Hello
There are several of these receiver online but I am unclear as to whether they will work as originally intended meaning can I go direct to ota recption or will I need a card from direct tv for activation one or the other or both? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

I'm sure this unit can be used as stand alone OTA HD tuner (no card needed). As of subscribed sat directTV, I'm not sure if it still work for latest card from DTV. It has 1080i output

Didn't the 'powers that be' mandate NO HD output except thru HDMI? Something to do with copy protection......
By RGB to you mean component? This is NOT rgb but rather more complicated.
My computer? now that's RGB, as is my digital camera.

It's computer input format, or VGA connector
