Hi all:
I'm throwing this up on the Dish site because I'm on Dish. Anyway the long and short of my question is that I'm about to spend some money and buy a Mitsubishi tv with a built in QAM tuner. Now from what i've read I should be able to pull in over the air the digital transmission of HD signal thru this via our local cable company which is Comcast. I understand I should be able to receive my local channels that are in HD. My 3 questions are as follows:
1) Has anyone used this technology and does it actually work?
2) I live in the middle of PA where we are not even high def capable via E* so how can I find out if Comcast is distributing this for free?
3) If they are does that allow me to get another HD signal say from Pittsburgh or Philly since I can get HD over the air?
Thanks for the replies in advance and love the site.
Cheers, Nick
