I got so frustrated with watching the Super Bowl in SD that I went over to cable TV and now I have ABC-HD, NBC-HD, Fox-HD, and CBS-HD.

Bobby, I thought you were able to pick up the locals OTA in Rohnert Park. I can almost get them here in Santa Rosa, but also gave up and added basic cable with a HD box for a total of 20 bucks. So far the results are excellant with the exception of missing the center channel sound WAY to often.
BTW, I don't think cable is an option for Simon who lives in the forest. (I think)

Correct, Grandude, forest and mountains.

Some Colorado Springs stations have remote analog transmitters up here, but they are rarely operational. Their purpose in life is to expand Grade-B footprint, NOT to serve viewers. The FCC should nail them on it, but we all know how that goes.

Anyway, as for DTV, there's a few billion tons of Pikes Peak Granite between here and the towers on Cheyenne Mt. (yes, THAT Cheyenne Mt.) - ain't never gonna happen.

Simon, My daughter lived for awhile outside of Steamboat Springs so I know what the landscape is like up there. Gods country if you like snow. They weren't into TV at all so no problem for them. Had a BUD in the yard from previous owner but they never hooked it up.
I am with you on wishing Dish would get on the ball and give us ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX at least in HD.

hey simon i c that the colorado springs hdtv scene still sucks. Its awsome here in chicago and getting every channel in hd.. the wife and I are talking about moving back west in a couple of years and its looking like castle rock will be it for denvers hd (cant live with cbs hd only like how it is in the springs) the diffrence is dramatic from one channel to 7 channels of Local IN Local hd. I actually feel sorry for you all in the springs. but one thing that i did like about the springs that i dearly miss is i could pick it all up with rabbit ears.. here in chicago Im lucky to get cbs half of the time with there super duper low reception and high interfearance on the lovely vhf prime spot of super channel 3!!!!!!!!! thus making a preamp and a 15ft ant. a necesity.. or a 2nd dish (for those nights that cbs does pixolate witch is every day) everything else is a steady 125 on the 921 (all uhf) Cant wait for the 942 next week. but anyhow Simon im with you I remember those days just wish that there was a way to record hd and send it to you cauz i would provide you with all the hd you needed.. lol...

Thanks G-Bob!

But it's probably not too bad down in C.Spgs. - or it'll be OK before too long.

Doesn't mean anything to me up here, though. I'm in a holding pattern for now. At least I hould be able to get my distant ABC back now that I have an RV.
