    DTV signal boost after Feb?

    Our channels 7, 11, and 13 are going back to VHF here in NYC and I can get the NTSC signals fine with a 4228 so I'm asuming I'll be able to get the digitals

    Digital subchannels

    There's on ONE station in NYC that doesn't have a digital subchannel. WCBS-DT. I did notice a subchannel one day while flipping through and it was the Democratic Convention, but went dark after that. I think maybe ONE sub channel is ok but not if it's crap. How many more GD weather channels do...

    Question about UHF/VHF

    I have a CM4228 and WABC-7 here in NYC currently broadcasts on UHF 45 but I've read they're going back to 7 as well as WPIX ch11 and WNET ch 13. I can get all 3 of the analog stations very well on this antenna so I assume I'll be able to get them when they go digital

    Real and Virtual Channel Numbers

    ATSC frequencies

    I was told by a knowledgable person that UHF channels 62-69 were being freed up. These frequencies supposedly will be used for emergency personnel nationwide (such as NYPD and NYFD) to communicate with each other.

    Best OTA STB???

    I've have the Samsung DTB-H260F. It's an excellent receiver. If you don't want to spend the money, get a used SIR-T451. I had that one also,another great receiver. IF you want to record I can recommend SONY DHG-HD250/HD500. It's an excellent receiver AND recorder. You can't tell if you're...

    Looking for a cheap HD Tuner

    I've only had Samsung tuners and they were all good. I'd recommend a SIR-T451 or the newer one (smaller than a coffee table book) DTB-H260F. I'm sure it is as GREAT as the 451. Really an excellent tuner.
