    Well, you'll need an "ATSC tuner" and an HD-capable display. Nowadays, if you buy an HDTV, they are usually packaged all in one. So just take your HDTV, and do whatever it is that model needs to do to scan for channels, or auto-program local channel reception. It should pick up right away on any HD channels that you can receive at your place!

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

      Every once in a while, something pops up on my HD television channels that bugs me. These happen both on my OTA local HD antenna channels and satellite HD. Sometimes they'll show a shot or commercial that is in widescreen format, but letterboxed into a standard 4:3 screen, (giving black bars on the...

      What'a an HDTV without one of these?



      I've wanted to taste HDTV for a long time. But I quitely sat on the side line, because I had an RPTV I paid quite a lot for, that just happened to be bought just before HD came out. (lucky me) Had I done the prudent thing, I would have...
