I beleive Fox and ABC do 720p, and CBS and NBC does 1080i.

  Stuck still with a crappy version of long outdated here in my
  area. HD Net however, is a really nice picture from all of the
  HD stations we have offered broadcasting out up to 1080i via
  Knology.

    I have found the picture from OTA HD is a little better than the same channels via cable.

      I have not even tried this yet. Will do so just to check for PBS.
      The UNiversity station here for radio has gone to HD FM! With that
      in mind I would expect there may be hope for the PBS OTA here.
      Thanks for the tip, can't believe I had not though about it being
      so conditioned to cable! As you can tell we do not watch a LOT
      of TV, but like the quality when we do.

        I don't really watch that much TV either, mostly movies. If you don't already own a decent upscaling DVD player (or one of the high def. flavors) get one. The difference is not subtle.

        I'm using the Oppo OPDV971H with nice results. Open to other ideas for reference?!

        I have the Oppo too. I'm using it as a back-up DVD player, and to play my imports. I'm using a Tosh HD=A1 as my main DVD player. Its noticably better than the Oppo at upscaling DVDs, plus it plays HD DVDs.:-) The Oppo is a great budget player.

        question on the A1 - chacodude 20:49:39 11/23/06 (1)

        How do you like the audio output? While the Oppo puts out a decent
        picture the audio section leaves a lot to be desired (I built up my
        own tube amps so I'm kinda picky on that). Ended up robbing a dac from
        my other rig and running coaxial out to it. The A1 has become quite affordable...nice option.

        Its considerably better. - Jack G 05:42:51 11/24/06 (0)

        Sonically, the Oppo isn't isn't that hot. It tends to be somewhat lean and cool sounding. The A1 is warmer, smoother and fuller sounding.
