Title: Some questions about HDTV...
Post by: heath on October 21, 2004, 10:37:34 AM
Okay, so I recently jumped on the HDTV bandwagon.  The bummer is that my local provider (Comcast) only offers me 4 channels in HD.  They do NOT offer Fox in HD so the baseball game last night blew.  I was trying to think of solutions, and I remembered that some HD programming is broadcast free, over the air if you have the right equipment to pick it up.  My questions are as follows.

Are these all I would need?:  http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat08084&type=category

Do they really work?  ie. is the picture/signal quality high?

Is a lot of stuff really broadcast this way?  Or am I going to spend money on this stuff to only get like 2 shows with it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I need more HD channels.  This 4 channel bullshit is killing me.  Comcast blows goats.
