    HDTV Antenna Rennaisance

    Add to Google

    by Andrew McCaskey

    The resurgence of the over the air (OTA) antenna is one of the bright spots of the HDTV conversion – driven in the main by the ever increasing cable and satellite bills, and the hidden cost of adding in subscriptions to HDTV content, after you have gotten that flat screen into the house and past the significant other.

    While you may lust after the 1080p experience at the local Best Buy or Fry’s, a more realistic mix (and a larger screen in the bargain) might include a less expensive but larger monitor, and a resolution, in the short term to grab the live content off the air, and enjoy the DVD resolution from a progressive scan DVD ( now under $75 at Walmart, DVD burner included ).

    That’s the experiment this week, courtesy of Mike Stoll who’s let me try his HDTV receiver for a few days. More info tomorrow.
