    HDTV and Standard Definition Quality

    SWEET, glad you got it straightened out.. "I haven't tried the DVD calibration yet, but their advice is really easy to understand and yields good results." I have the AVIA calibration DVD you could borrow if you decide to go that route..

    HDTV and Standard Definition Quality

    Bummer, Fred... Have you tried playing a DVD through component, if so how'd it look.. And I'm surprised the SD digital channels didn't look great.. How about the analog channels.. All my analog and digital channels come in great on my Emerson.. Well, after getting my antennas...

    Is HD TV really needed?

    I agree, totally... I bought my Emerson LCD for a great price in June and I'll never go back to a SD TV.. After getting my antennas straightened out digital and HD channels are excellent.. If all you need is a bigger SD TV just find a used $50-$75 one and start saving for a real TV, you...

    OTA Help with correct Antenna

    All those channels are less than 30 miles away and basically in the same direction, except the last 2 which are too far away for your antenna.. Do you have the right side of your antenna pointing toward the towers.. Try running a separate RG6 cable from your antenna directly to your TV...

    Do you really need an HD Tv?

    How is the HD content shown.. Is it letterboxed or cropped.. I just can't imagine that the converter boxes are going to have much for features, if any, I may be wrong though...

    Do you really need an HD Tv?

    Number 8 is interesting... HD content is widescreen so it would be either letterboxed or cropped.. But, I can't imagine those converter boxes are going to anything except convert digital to analog.. That said, if the boxes actually do convert HD to analog will it be watchable..

    CM7777 Questions

    Okay, that's similar to clipping on a stereo amp.. I'm thinking if over loading occurs you could turn the antenna toward the weaker signals and it'll hopefully stop.. Well, I only have two analog channels that are real strong now.. Thanks, Brent

    CM7777 Questions

    I bought the CM7777 Preamp and have decided to try moving my antenna, which I believe is a CM4242, before buying an additional antenna to see how that works first.. Now my antenna is mounted on the wooded side of the house with trees less than 10' from the antenna and the trees have grown...

    a 2009 tv shut off question...

    Come to think of it, I wouldn't be able to watch my 30 year old 5" B&W Bohsei AM/FM/TV without a digital receiver.. That reeks... Not that I actually watch it but, it's nice having around.. And it still has an excellent picture.. Hopefully, they'll be makin' a real small digital receiver...

    Help, what do I need???

    So Jim, what happened to the good news.. Hahaha Where did you find your information.. I'm up about 700 feet above sea level on a good sized hill, for the area that is.. If this makes a difference.. I can live without the PBS channel 9 so I'll scratch off the VHF antenna.. That Antennas...

    Help, what do I need???

    Thanks guys... Because of your input, I've decided to get some more RG6 quad and run a straight shot to my new TV from the first splitter to see what happens.. Maybe, change the cable coming down from my antenna to RG6 quad.. I also have one of those distribution amplifiers I could try...

    Help, what do I need???

    I just got my 32" Emerson LCD HDTV setup yesterday afternoon and WOW, I'm very impress with the picture quality.. This TV even makes my father's VCR recordings look better through the composite input.. Anyway, the TV will only scan in analog channels.. I have a Channel Master 120 mile...

    Antenna Preamp

    Thanks for the great explanation.. I guess I don't need a preamp as all four local channels come in great, should be better after I get rid of that 75' of RG59 cable, with my fairly new Channel Master antenna... And after it gets pointed in the right direction.. Thanks again, BK
