Can Dish HD 811 from Dish Network be used as an OTA HDTV tuner?

I'm not into any kind of subscription services that constantly
pulls money out of my pocket. Satellite TV is one example.
However, Dish Network has a good plan right now that offer all
the equipment for free. So I'm thinking why not get Dish for one
year and then I'll own two or three of their Dish HD 811. Then
I'll cancel their service, and survive with OTA HDTV if their HD
811 supports OTA HDTV? Does the thing have an online PDF manual
that I can read up?

Yes the 811 will function as an OTA Tuner.

It will only function as an OTA tuner if you are a Dish Network
customer. Once you cancel your service it will not work.
