    Basic HDTV Question (OTA how to?)

    1. That's a little odd, but nothing I see really surprises me. 2. There is literally a switch in the control room locally that sends out the HD signal. Sometimes the night shift forgets to flip it. I have been watching a HD movie that goes to pillarbox for the commercial, then comes back on...

    OTA Antenna Recomendations

    How much did you play with the Silver Sensor's location/orientation? I found it can be very directional. Moving it 1 foot could completely change what channels I received. Moving it to my second floor in front of a window increased reception significantly.

    Dam, magic reception standoffs, wish I could find some of these ....
