But Cable? No. Cable is trying to sell Digital, but it's not High Def. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx Ontario-Canada -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Leonard Caillouet Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2004 8:11 AM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Hitachi 53UWX10BA No video/sound is rushing noise Don't you guys up there have HD via sat or cable. We only have the PBS station in HD OTA here, and FOX in 480p from about 40 miles away, but we have had sat HD for several years, and cable HD for about a year. The HD stuff generally looks very good unless it gets compressed or the signal drops out. The OTA stuff from PBS is quite impressive. I pick up one HD and one SD feed with a loop inside the shop, where I hardly get a signal from the NTSC channels. If the signal is there it is great. Sometimes with weather I get it freezing and pixelating, but even the SD digital is far better than the reception on the standard channels. Lots of options and lots of capability make anything more confusing until you learn it.
