    Fan of the NBA? Why or Why Not?

    #1 does it for me, although the other 3 reasons are pretty good. There's so much traveling in the NBA the games should be on The Travel Channel. And what's a foul anymore? Anything or everything? or both?

    2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs

    Didn't see any blocking or break-up but I thought the PQ for the whole game was bad. Wish CBC out of Windsor would go digital, watched a little of the game on ch 9. The game announcers seem better.

    Dish knows they upset a lot of people by the lack of new HD in Feburary

    More whining here. Got to agree with Carl. The fox additions will help keep me with dish, but for how long? The wife and I only watch about 20-25 channels but they are spread through the various packages. May get hard to justify the cost for what we watch. Just give me the channels I want to...

    Lets pile on the Lions one more time

    Well, as a lions fan the thing that upset me was they had the losing record at 15. At least they could of won the last game and then broken the record again next year. I saw a show on the NFL network about the 10 worst NFL teams in history. The lions didn't even make the list. Surely a 1-15 then...

    How do you feel about the NHL All-Star Game?

    I like watching hockey, especially playoff hockey. Even olympic hockey is fun to watch now that the pros play in them games. But the all star game? Whats that goat say? Nah, nah, nah. Go Red Wings!

    NFL Playoffs on FOX HD look like @#&!*!

    I wouldn't say the playoffs on FOX look like @#&!*!. But here in the Detroit area NBC, CBS and ABC sports all do look better. This is OTA with a 211 and a 40" sony LCD.

    FOX NEWS HD - Where are you?

    Have to agree with this. My 18 mo commitment was up this past summer, have been waiting to see if FNC shows up in HD. Guess I'll wait and see what happens in Jan/Feb, beside the price increase.

    DTV signal boost after Feb?

    Looking at the FCC web site they are showing the same coverage maps for ch 7 &9 after the switch. Guess the FCC is hoping the better digital tuners are going to make up for the power loss. There were no applications from CH9 (WUSA) Asking for a power increase. Looks like it's going to be a wait...

    Are These Any Good???

    I did buy one of them to see how bad it was and it is as delivered. Mine came from a different vendor and luckily only cost 29.95 with free 3 day shipping. Guess the guy was trying to get rid of them. So anyway it's a bit of a pia to assemble. In looking at it, the dual folded dipole drivers are...

    Tech Chat Recap May 14th

    Several "D" mobile systems have been installed in aircraft for a few years now. Think they are showing up in boats now too. If someone can afford to buy it and a company can make money installing it is reason to exist. Maybe this will be mobile for the masses. If there's a market for it.

    Newbie question... need suggestion for OTA HD antenna

    If you can't or won't position the 4221 to get a better ch 12 sig than try this, http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?PROD=Y5-7-13 and combine it with the 4221. Overall you'll have smaller antenna and more upper vhf gain than with a 3016

    Newbie question... need suggestion for OTA HD antenna

    Your in a fairly strong signal area, if you had to use a preamp try this, http://www.warrenelectronics.com/antennas/hdp269.htm. You could also try moving the antenna up or even down a little to see if that helps on ch 12.

    Upcoming Versus HD Hockey Schedule

    The schedule posted by Scott on the previous page said the dallas / van game tonite was HD. I'd say we were getting the boner coverage rather than bonus. I'm well into a half keg of mic light and enjoying it.

    Newbie Suggestion for OTA indoor Antenna

    All your DTV stations are uhf. The Silver Sensor should work fine as an indoor antenna. Did you check to make sure they are all staying uhf after 2009? http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-06-1082A2.pdf
