What is the POS Motorola Box supposed to do? - Is this the HD tuner that I've seen advertising Direct TV?

If you have a built in tuner in your Sony already I'm assuming that you didn't need the POS Motorola Box?

Do the Over the Air HD broadcasts look as good as DVD Movies?

JT-I'm getting the HD through the Motorola cable box, not over the air.

What kind of antenna do you have? (I have a VHF/UHF/FM in my attic that provides Crystal Clear Broadcasts of all the Local Channels - I live in a Metro Area)- Should mine provide excellent HD OTA?

JT-I'm not using an antenna, so don't know.

This is my first foray into HDTV, and I'm thinking it's still not quite there yet? - Am I wrong?

JT-The HD works fine if they ever get it set up properly. The problem seems to be that the technology has outstripped the people who are trying to install it. Some of the Comcast guys were completely clueless. I might as well have had the plumber working on it. After the fourth service call, they finally sent someone who understood HD, and he promptly got it working.
