Heck, I even have a little cheapie USB TV reciver that will pick up analog & digital signals & put them on my TV, got that a year ago to find I could at least part time get HD signals. I'm into gadgets. :)
When they come in, the picture is unbelievable.
When the weather is crummy or even between 10:00am & 3:00pm, a lot of them go away or break up so bad ya can't watch.
Kind of a bummer to be so close, yet so far away. You know what I mean?
The strongest HD signal I get is a channel 11, which says they are broadcasting HD on ch 37 actually. Now thay say they will be going back to actual ch 11 for the HD in Feburary. That really messes me up for antennea choice, as I was lead to believe all the nearby channels were going to the upper numbers; now this one at least is coming back to the lower numbers. Sigh.
Too many trees to do any satellite try in winter, need to see how it goes in middle of summer. Don't want to be on the roof up here in deep winter either, that's not fun. So, Feb is kind of a bad time. Someone from the South musta decided on that timing.....
Then add in that a few channels come in from a UHF re-broadcast tower, and they have permission to wait at least 2 more years to cut the analog signal, so we have to deal with pass-through, etc. They are swapping over to HD on a much slower pace, just to keep it interesting.
Gets real complicated, I don't know much about it, and when you ask some 'expert' locally you learn you already know more than them - which isn't much.
Seems everyone in the metro areas is on cable, when they would have a lot of boradcast stuff available to them. Out in the country where we can't get cable and have enough to occupy us that all we want are a few local news programs - that is going to get more difficult with HD.
Took my little computer reciever with me to the Twin Cities, wow there were 50 or so stations coming in on the 2 foot tall antenna beside me. I know not cable stations, but a lot of offerings - for free. Out here in the country, pretty happy if I get 6 stations. And those are fringe.
Nice picture tho if you can get it, I know it is a step up in quality for sure. Just a step down in availability, often to those who woulda used it most.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
