    about to jump into the HD waters, so some (probably) stupid questions

    I so much appreciate all the replies, and apologize for not coming on earlier to say so. It turns out on Sunday, my wife went shopping and, long story short, came home with an HD tv and blu ray player! This initially filled me with dread, because she tends to buy items based on how they will...

    about to jump into the HD waters, so some (probably) stupid questions

    actually, we have no local channels on Dish here in Indiana at the moment- our ABC/NBC/Fox are provided by all american direct- is that something that will be affected by the move to HD and a new satellite? I think our local CBS station (which we use an antenna to receive) is SUPPOSED to be on...

    about to jump into the HD waters, so some (probably) stupid questions

    Thanks for the info, R0ss- do I need to be able to get BOTH eastern arc AND western arc for HD? Or is one enough? And don't worry- no barrel connectors for the final run of coax, although they are GREAT for helping pull a new strand of coax through the house! Once it's outside, unhook the old...

    about to jump into the HD waters, so some (probably) stupid questions

    I appreciate all the replies, and am glad to hear that there isn't a new kind of coax called RG6HD or something like that... :) boomerang: at the moment, my coax isn't buried, thanks to an accident recently involving our local tree service and a stump grinder. :( So the outside coax isn't 11...

    about to jump into the HD waters, so some (probably) stupid questions

    I'm about to take the plunge into HD- my current tv is well over 17 years old, and our Dish Network receiver is at least 11 years old (it came with the house). I know that, for Dish Network, I will need a new satellite and a new receiver. Question number one is this: will I need a new run of...
