Whats OTA signal? Not sure what OTA stands for but Im guessing my local stations. When I talked to Thomas he said that being in Sherman Oaks he will be using the feed from Pasadena and says he finds that to be the best to use.

I think I meant the DVD players that upconvert a standard DVD signal to HD-compatible 720p or 1080i. Sorry, a true sign of being a HD greenhorn
