    HDTV Antenna hook up issues

    Lou, That's a good question. I defintely had snow. Are the channels different #'s?? Say NBC is channel 4. Is it the same or another #. I guess it would be another signal for HDTV. (I'm a little slow...) Either way I think my antenna in the attic test failed. I will double check the...

    4:3 vs 16:9 for everyday use

    Thanks for the info. How does the calibration work? is it something that can be done by me? What do you think about the Sony 40xbr800? Is it something I should consider? Only drawback is weight and 4:3. I want something before the NFL season.
