Well after 2 months having no tv my wife is wondering if I'll try again :). I picked up Antennacraft 33 and a rotor. No signal amplifier yet. It's in the highest part of our attic since I can't put it outside in our neighborhood. Via fcc/antennaweb/tvfool we have signals coming from due...

Recently moved to Northern Virginia (Winchester) and hoping to snag DC signals and not pay monthly to get broadcast channels. Anyone have experience in the geographical area? Based on Antennaweb, the nearest CBS and FOX towers are in DC. Thanks!

I'm an Insight Communications subscriber who is hopefully entering into the PVR world. They offer the Motorola 6208 (80GB HD, DVI) for $13/month on top of the digital cable fee. Do you think I should jump on this or are there better options out there for the money? Anyone know if the ports are...

Andy, I own the Sony KP46WT510 and did find its intermediate size to be a bit of a problem. The stand that Sony built is quite low to the ground - 12" is probably its height and will cost you about $200 retail. That will place the center of the image at a good viewing height. However, the...

PeterN, I own the same set that you do and utilize component vid cables from an HD box directly into the TV. You can still use stretch modes when viewing no-HD content, but I wouldn't recommend it. The gray bars are annoying, but at least this way you're seeing the image closer to how it's...

James and Greg, Thanks for the help. I'll have to audition out the HSU and SVU subs when I can, however I think after reading a bit more on these threads that the center and mains are the way to go. Any recommendations for a budget of ~1000 for the center and mains? Would looking at...

Greetings! I’ve been happily watching these boards for quite some time now and finally decided to post. I think I may have caught the upgrade bug and would like a little assistance in deciding which components to upgrade first and how much $$$ to spend in doing so. I purchased the below on a...
