In Reply to: What Antenna / Reciever to get for HDTV reception?? posted by Wega Owner on January 12, 2002 at 21:30:10:
I'm in the southern part of southern California about 40-50 miles from the transmitters and just use a $30 UHF bowtie in my attic and get excellent reception.HDTV is all or nothing you know. Either there is a picture or a black screen, nothing in between.
You also need a set top box to decode the HDTV. Most prices have dropped dramatically and can be had for $500 or so. Most have DirecTV built in as well just so you know.

Hi,I'm downloading 1080i HDTV from my $25 Sears Hardware antenna in the attic. I get the networks fine, but PBS channel 12.1 and the two other stations broadcasting digitally in my area sometimes come in fine, or not at all, OR IN-BETWEEN, WHICH IS LITERALLY IN BITS AND BYTES> > > > you may get a good picture for a while, and then it begins to break-up, or it may go out completely for a while and then come back.
I get pixelations and freeze frames and all kinds of digital distortions from these channels. I guess I'll have to go up in the attic and fool around with the antenna--aiming is critical with digital.
