Bro n law lives in the country, about 40 miles from Monroe, La. He's got DISH and a 42" Toshiba Flat screen LCD w/hdtv tuner. DISH doesn't offer "local" channels in his town. So for ever he's picked them up via a rotating, mast antenna, mounted on the roof. He's got a booster (unknown watts/price) between the antenna and his tv and the picture is delivered via Coax cable, not twin lead 300ohm wire.
Now that a couple of his stations have gone digital, he's lost their feed, completely. Pimple faced kid at Best Buy said he needed an "HDTV" antenna. I told him no, his existing UHF/VHF antenna should pick up the stations that have digitalis.
So, does he need a newer better booster/pre amp? Was the pimply faced kid right? Any thoughts welcome
