    pictures of my VOOM, big OTA ant.

    I just checked Antennaweb and I am a little upset. I live in Dallas and all of the digital stations are UHF except for 1. That would be our ABC affiliate. Why in the hell would they do that? If it was UPN or WB I wouldn't really care.

    Want DTV, have questions

    You can also purchase a wireless telephone jack for about $40 and not worry about getting a second line. You plug your current phone line into the "base" of the wireless jack. Then you plug the wireless connection into an electrical outlet and use it like a new phone line. Mine works great...

    Can I assume that the other guys that work for the same company are top notch as well? One of them is near me in Dallas.

    Will US Open be in HD?

    No it isn't. And the CBS HD broadcast of golf is cool about 20% of the time. Most of the shots are not in HD. The only HD shots are from the cameras at the greens. But I know it's expensive and difficult to do on a wide basis so I at least give them props for getting the ball rolling.

    Simple Question

    I have decided to make the switch to DirectTV. I eventually want to get the HD Tivo but can't right now. Would it be much of a hassle to get the SD Tivo installed with a dish that would allow me to upgrade to HD later by just buying a new receiver without having to deal with another install?

    HD receiver conversion

    I recently bought a Toshiba widescreen projection HDTV and when I watch shows on me E* receiver it is very pixelated and doesn't look good at all. When I make the switch to D* HD will the receiver do any converting of the SD digital signal to make it look better on my TV?

    Okay, OTA Bragging rights poll... with a purpose.

    snathanb, That is pretty impressive. I live much closer to Cedar Hill than you and I can pick up 4,5,8, and 11 most of the time with an RCA indoor amplified antenna.

    My own "comparison" chart & questions

    If you don't have a phone line in the room you can either get one run or you can buy a wireless telephone jack. Here is an example of one: http://www.seniorshops.com/wirelessjack.html This is just an example. You should shop around for quality and price.

    HD and Locals

    I live in Dallas so I am 99.9% sure I can get local channels. I just didn't know that if I got the HD setup if I could still get them from DirectTV in a non-HD format.

    It's not the satellite companies' fault if your locals don't offer HD yet.

    HD and Locals

    I currently have Dish Network with the local channels. I just got a new HDTV and would like to start seeing some programming in HD so I am looking at going with Direct TV. I know my locals won't be in HD but can I still get them from the dish like I do now or will I have to rely strictly...

    Local channels

    I know that I cannot get local channels in HD unless I get an antenna. However, if I get the Direct TV HD system, can I still get my local channels in analog with the satellite like I do now? I live pretty far out from the city and I really don't want to mess with an antenna if I don't...
