All I really wanted the HD for is all the football games and maybe some nature shows. With that box of yours, dont u have to upgrade it like ll the time?

I live close enough to a reg TV transmitting tower, that I can pick up my local FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC HD channels with a reg antenna. 5.1 sound also. I also get the "TUBE" network for music.

You can check what is available in our area at:

pick choose an antenna, then
You can put in your zipcode or actual address for a better assesment.
once you get your list of channels you can check digital channels only, and find out how far you are from a tower.

i live in tahoe and did this just for fun. nothing digital for me anywhere. thus, i have direct. before the reno stations went hd, i got the waiver and have the LA feeds in hd. so, i get to watch all my hometown teams when they aren't on a reno feed and aren't national.
