buzz, Id just make sure you live within 8-10 miles of the TV station....and that you can take it back if it doesn work. I live 13 miles from a tv station and get nothing but 70% fuzz when I use an indoor standard definition anteanna....to get a good pic Id have to get a huge a$$ anteanna and put it 30 feet above my roof....Ive heard that HD anteannas are very directional...(luckily Im on directTV) |

I'm lucky all my stations are very close to my house 5 to 10 miles, plus I'll be using an outdoor antenna. UHF antennas should be used for channels 14+, channels 2 - 13 should use a VHF antenna. I'll be using an UHF/VHF combo antenna. Use this link http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/audio/tvq.html to find out the effective radiated power of TV stations analog and digital. Just put in your stations call letters. It also will give you a contour map of the stations power. |

AH can anyone explain me what this conversation was about? So If I buy a over the air HD then it won't work for me? So there's a version that's not over the air? It will clear up the crappy SD Feed I got? Becoming a little frustrating the image issues I have on my SD cable hooked up to a digital box runnning into computer and using a horrible dscaler, which doesn't clear anything and doesn't help. I sometimes get the caps decent for SD,but sometimes I don't. My ABC feed is Junk. |

I guess I never saw the thread till now 
I'm using the version 3 series of this tuner card, http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/eng/Products/RTGold.aspx The card can record from ATSC (Over The Air Digital) QAM (Digital Cable TV) and Analog OTA and Cable TV. |

Yeah, i'm with comcast. Their HDTV content is crystal clear, now their "Digital" SD content is a different story. They use way too much compression, although some channels are better than others. The worst channels are kind of like looking through a shower glass door. I'm waiting for verizon FIOS cable, they have more bandwidth and less compression. A couple people have told me that their quality is way better than comcast.

FIOS compression on the SD cable channels is much less then when I had cable. They also pass the SD and HD Broadcast QAM channels unlocked so you can record them directly with a Digital Tuner Card. |

I have a standard cable line coming into my house and the only way I can get my local free HDTV signals on my computer is to ad a "Cable TV AMP" This is what I use. go to www.cabletvamps.com click on products |
