Thanks for the corrections. Clearly, I hit a nerve with my ignorant comment. My information is obviously out of date, having only read an article or two from a year ago (at least). As long as I don't suffer a loss in reception quality, you'll hear no complaints from me. I'm definitely in the "late adopter" crowd, and probably don't belong on this list. I was just responding to some comments on HDR display, which I do know something about, but that thread was so stale that no one replied.

If you get the picture itcomes in beautifully. Where I live, about 35 miles NW of Boston, I donot get a watchable picture on any analog UHF channel, but I get all theBoston area DTV signals with an antenna in the attic.And comparing the OTA picture to the same service carried on cable (andtranscoded down to 15mbit/sec), the OTA picture quality is noticeably better. gary
