| 530128 | 2007-03-04 23:07:00 | It seems you are the resident "over-the-air-broadcast" guru so I wonder if you have any input on this: Since I live about 75 miles away from LA broadcast tv station antennas, I get a little snow in the picture and some times I cannot actually find some stations. During the times when I can see the stations and get a good picture and sound I wonder if I went to digital (HDTV) in an over-the-air broadcast system if it would get a better picture? I think I saw somewhere that if one were to install digital receiver(s) and HDTVs in one's home where the signal of regular broadcast was even slightly viewable, then you'd get clear and solid reception if you switched. In other words, just switching to HDTV will solve a lot of the bad signal on regular analog reception. Right? Right now LA broadcasts in both digital and analog..but the latter is going away soon. |

| 530130 | 2007-03-05 06:08:00 | Um I think your right. Its just that HDTV can get the signal far better through obstructions such as snow and other weather than analog. But better wait for the gurus or simply email someone at Engadget. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
