  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.

          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.

            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.
