    Please Help me with my 40" RPTV considerations

    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..

    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..

    OTA antenna hookup through satellite cables?

    I thought the CBS football playoff games were supposed to be in HDTV????

    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.
