ESPNHD is not 24/7 hd..They carry a limited number of special events..If you go to the ESPN website it will give you times and dates of the HD events..The rest of the time ESPNHd mirrors the regular standard channel..More and more actual HD events will be added as time goes on..
There a no screws..Use a small screw driver to start pulling out the strip of mold around the screen..one you pull the thin mold strip out the protective screen will come right off..Fit the mold strip back in and your done..Takes no more the five minutes..If you look carefully in one of the...
Sorry Joe, I did not realize you already bought your tv..The reason I said go with a separate tuner and not a built in one is because When you get the dish PVR the built in tuner you paid extra for will not be needed ..The PVR will have an OTA capabilities like the one built into your set..
Steve, The mits sets are one of the easiest to remove..You don't have to even touch the lenticular screen or put anything like velcro or molding to keep the lenticular screen from moving or warping..
Go with the separate tuner..A separate tuner gives you alternatives,,OTA, direct tv or Dishnetwork or Cable HD..Also with a few HD PVR's do out this fall, why pay twice for the tuner..
What part of the country do you live in..There are not too many areas of the country where you can't get HD/digital channels over the air...Get and HD/satellite set top box and you will be able to get digital and HD both ota and via satellite..

Tim, You will not get the HD channels with the Time warner digital box..You will just get the regular channels..You have to ask for their HD box which is the Scientific Atlanta 3100 hd box..Digital cable just takes the analog channels and digitalizes them... The difference between HD and...
Time Warner is one of the leading cable companies when it comes to HD...They will privide the HD decoder box, the Scientific Atlanta 3100 hd box for the same monthy charge as their digital cable box....HD any way you can get it, is worth it..
I do not think you can..Every Set top box I have seen has a seperate input for the OTA antenna...The encoding circuitry in the STB is different for OTA HD signals vs Satellite HD singnals, which is why there is a separate connection for the OTA antenna vs the sat dish..
Daren, Your set top box or decoder will convert 720p to 1080i...You will not notice any difference..It will look great..All ABC HD programming is 720p..There are very few sets that receive both 1080i and 720p HD programming natively.
When it comes to HD satellite receivers, there really is no best...They will all do the job very well...There are not a lot to pick from right now as many manufacturers are introducing new ones with DVI or E 1394 interface..Decide which satellite provider is best for you than choose a HD...
