Old Directv Hr23/700 As Ota Tuner Hack?

I have an old directv HR23/700 just laying around and would like to get local channels for my projector (which doesn't have a tuner). I could get a $30 tuner off Amazon, but I thought I'd see if there is a simply way to repurpose my extra equipment. Thoughts
