What do you do, when nothing looks like "blu?"

Been getting OTA HD channels for over 4 years now. Why pay cable for what is free? With the right antenna in the right location your picture is perfect at least 98% of the time.

Check out Amazon for the Zenith Silver Sensor. If that doesn't work, you are just in a bad location for OTA channels.

C'mon 2/17/09... I'm ready to stay up late and watch analog die.

I take my HP Hi-Def notebook to my job and watch over the air HDTV through my digital tuner card and antenna. I just have to face the antenna toward the Empire State building here in NYC.

I posted this on a discussion from yesterday but here is a site that shows the HD channels in your area and gives a general direction where to point the antenna.

I have been receiving my HD channels OTA for 3 years now and I do get a couple of extra weather channels in my area. I use a TERK antenna mounted on the side of the house to pick up the channels. The only downfall for me is I am at the end of the footprint (60miles) from the transmitting antennas so sometimes my Fox HD channel comes in broken/pixelated. When I switched from Directv to Dish Network I now rely on my OTA for FOX HD as it is not available from Dish in my area.

Too bad my HOA agreement don't agree me to install outdoor antenna.
and my indoor antenna can only receive one HD channel, and the signal is not stable.

I live in a heavy tree area on mountains in northern Cali. With an antenna I can pick up Fox with artifacts, CBS with drop outs and pretty much nothing else.

Its against the law for hoa's to prevent you from installing an antenna.
