I searched the FAQ (which is awesome, much props for that), but still have a few questions.
1. Local Channels: Are the local OTA channels mixed in with the VOOM channels? In other words, can I sit and channel surf through everything or will I have to change inputs when I want to view local channels?
2. OTA HD: I understand that not all of the networks broadcast everything in HD. For example, my local news comes on CBS at 10:00PM and then Late Night with David Letterman comes on at 10:30PM. News is SD, Late Night is HD. Can I receive both SD and HD on this antenna? The way it is now with my Time Warner HD. CBS HD cuts off at 10:00PM. I just want to make sure I am not stuck with only being able to view the local channels in HD only.
3. Can you turn off channels? If I have a HDTV with VOOM, why do I need the regular HBO SD channel? If HBO HD and regular HBO are showing the same thing, I don't see the point in having the SD HBO channel. (I realize not all of the HBO channels are HD; I'm only talking about the ones that are HD)
4. Can you change the PQ via the remote. If I am watching The Real World on MTV will the box auto change to 480i and then if I decided to change the channel over the HBO HD, will the box change to 1080i or is this something I have to change? I basically want to sit back and channel surf and have the box pass through whatever signal the channel is being broadcast in.
That's all I can think of right now. I am going to go to Sears after work and see if they have a demo I can play with.
