agi, I live in LR and I have a standard, $15 antenna from Radio Shack. I have an HD ready set and I get NBC, CBS and Fox. ABC isn't in HD, so it doesn't matter. If you have DirecTV and are a Tivo fan like me, the Hughes HD Tivo unit should start being available at Circuit City or Best Buy...

Thank you Ken F. You've helped me out a great deal, and I appreciate your time. I'm logging off, but I'd love to learn your knowledge on when these DTV HD Tivo units are going to be released widely to the public. Thanks again. thyde

Oh, great! I was misinformed then. At least there's some good news there. Thanks for the reply Ken F. Two more questions, and I'll stop bugging you: 1. Old fashioned off-air antennas have always come and gone with their signal. When it's going into an HD receiver, does it make the...

The reason this poses a problem is because I was going to invest in the HD Tivo when it's widely available, an if I'm using an off-air antenna to get HD through local channels, it does me no good. The DirecTV HD Tivo only records through DirecTV, not an off-air antenna.

Well that's pretty disappointing. So the only HD shows I'd be able to watch are through the HD channels through DirecTV like ESPNHD, HBOHD and VOOM?

Ok, now I'm confused. Why do I need an additional antenna? That's what I was getting at with my original post. If I have a triple LNB dish, local channels (I'm in Little Rock, AR), an HD receiver, HD TV, and CBS is running an HD program, will it be in HD? You're saying I have to have an...

That's what I was wondering, so you basically answered yes to my question. If they advertise that a program (the Masters, Everybody Loves Raymond, an NFL football game) are in HD, then I will get HD with my HD receiver. I was just concerned that even though they say it's in HD, I wouldn't get...

I don't yet, but assuming I do...

I'm wondering if I have an HD receiver and HD TV, and local channels through DirecTV, do I get HD broadcasts when they're on? For example, if CBS is carrying the Masters Golf Tournament and they advertise that it's presented in HDTV, do I get that signal? I'm confused because of this CBS HD...
