Hey guys (and gals):
Just recently started viewing posts on this sub-forum. I had been loving the fact that I could catch the down-hauls from NESN on my Fortec receiver, until I noticed that I could not watch the channel, as it apparently is HDTV (4:2:2 or 4:2:0).
My question is simply whether I should buy a computer card and watch FTA over computer hooked up to a TV, buy one of those $700 (pretty expensive for this hobby) QualiTV receivers, or wait for a few months and hope that a new generation of receivers come out with expanded features, including HDTV reception and AC3???
If the mods here want to move this post to another section, no problem here. Just thought that members in this sub-forum would have the most informed opinions on this issue, since you folks are searching for these feeds all (well most) of the time.
