I also have a Terk TV55. It's good, but not great. Had to move it to the roof to get all my local digitals, and I'm only about 20 miles from the transmitters. The included amp helps. I gotta say, though, Terk's customer service is pretty darn good. When I went to move the antenna to the roof...

I understand. I have a finance controller, too. ;) Consider, though, that many HD receivers and 16:9 TVs support one or more "non-linear" stretch modes for 4:3 video sources. The way it works is that the center part of the image is stretched less than the left and right edges. Since most of what...

Don't know of any, personally. Since a lot of OTA digital broadcasts are high-definition at least some of the time, you probably need an HD receiver just to decode the signal before it can be down-converted. For what it's worth, all of the HD receivers I've seen have legacy outputs (S-video...

HDMI and DVI are two connection types. DVI carries video only and HDMI carries video, audio, and device control signals. A quick Google search turned up a web page that explains the differences better than I can: http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/howto-dvi-hdmi.html This page also lists...

BTW- You mentioned up-conversion as a desired feature. ANY receiver worth its weight in salt should up-convert SD signals and provide a variety of outputs. All of the receivers I mentioned will do that.

For DirecTV, I'd recommend the Samsung SIR-TS360 or Hughes HTL-HD. For Dish Network, the Dish 811. But beware that some receivers (like the Dish 811) require a properly installed satellite dish before they will work at all.

There are many good HD receivers around $300. All of the ones I'm familiar with are combination satellite-and-OTA receivers, though. If you're looking for a receiver that is just for OTA, I'm sure they are out there, but may be harder to find. Regarding your association: Others have written...

Hmm... how important is the solid copper? I have a 50' length of stranded 12 guage copper (complete with green insulation). Will that cut it?

Hi. Tried posting these questions in an existing thread, but I guess it was too old to get noticed, so I'll try again. ;) I just moved my OTA antenna to a mast over the roof, and now I'm trying to ground the mast. Looked through the existing threads on this topic, but I still have questions...

Hi all. I just moved my OTA antenna to a mast over the roof, and now I'm trying to ground the mast. Found this thread, but I still have questions. How does one usually gain access to the house's electrical ground from the roof? Can I run a copper wire all the way to the same exterior...
