    HD or Not HD

    What is the difference between 1080i and 1080i HD. I'm watching channel 81 and it says 1080i with the HD symbol in the corner. Channel 83 says 1080i with no symbol in the corner. Is one in HD and the other is not??

    Samsung 360 or RCA 210

    Are these really any different. It seems like everthing I read about them is negative. Value electronics offered RCA for 315 plus addt'l 50 for install. D*tv offered 250 plus 20 for tax but recvr would be unknown(i'm guessing it would be the samsung360) Are these recvrs worth the money since...

    HD Local Channels on D*tv

    I'm in the Los Angeles, market. I found a a web site. I think it was Titan.com that said I should have a strong signal. But, like I said I have some radio towers that seem to give me a bad reception on my lower channels. I'm about 28 miles from the towers. It's not the distance. So I guess...

    HD Local Channels on D*tv

    When could we expect D*tv to offer the locals in HD. I was told that the area I live in (Torrance, CA) gets bad reception regardless of what kind of antenna I have. I have some radio towers that they say causes bad interference. I could go HD with cable but I would perfer to stay with Direct.

    local channels

    What would be the reason for my lower channels not coming in clear. If I get a new antenna should that do the trick. I'm looking at the Winegard HD7082P. I would hate to spend the money if the channels don't come in clear.
