Chandler#81 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Agreed, about time. Though they HD'd most of them last year and I figured this year they'd all be HD. Nothin' like it ever seen before. Many cities local stations are now broadcasting in HD and you don't need a dish or cable to receive them. Just an 'over the air' HD antenna.
Fezmid Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Agreed, about time. Though they HD'd most of them last year and I figured this year they'd all be HD.Nothin' like it ever seen before. Many cities local stations are now broadcasting in HD and you don't need a dish or cable to receive them. Just an 'over the air' HD antenna. And by "HD antenna," you really mean "any antenna at all." Don't buy into the hype that you need a special antenna for HD signals.
Chandler#81 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Perhaps I drank the RadioShack cool-aid, but they talked me into their HD antenna -a small (7" x 3") white rectangle antenna and it does bring in the HD super clear. My rabbit ears couldn't deliver that kind of clarity. FYI, about $40.00
GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Welcome to the 21st century, CBS. We've been expecting you.
generaLee83 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/22/all-n...season-finally/ This is fantastic news..........................to those whose cable providers have properly negotiated and are now carrying CBS HD. I'm from the southern tier region and we do not have CBS HD being offered through Time Warner, it is allegedly because of a contractual disagreement between Granite Broadcasting and Time Warner, all that I know is that I seldomly get to see the Bills in HD. Anyone have any solutions?
Fezmid Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Anyone have any solutions? DirecTV? Dish? OTA Antenna?
Arkady Renko Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 This is unfortunate. Analog broadcasts are more faithful to the original visuals, with a warmer, richer picture.

Chilly Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Move to a new city that offers CBS HD Texas has CBS HD
Fezmid Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Move to a new city that offers CBS HD An antenna to pick up the OTA signal would be cheaper, but yes that's an option too
Flbillsfan#1 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Perhaps I drank the RadioShack cool-aid, but they talked me into their HD antenna -a small (7" x 3") white rectangle antenna and it does bring in the HD super clear. My rabbit ears couldn't deliver that kind of clarity. FYI, about $40.00 With digital, you either get the signal or you don't, there is no in between snowy crappy sh--. The $40 ant is no doubt better than the cheap rabbit ears ant it replaced, but as the other poster said any GOOD ant will do.
puppet Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I live in Glens Falls - does anyone know if you can get HD reception here?

You need either an HDTV or a set-top box digital tuner for a standard old television. With antenna configurations, some locations require more work than others. I've got a thread in the Consumer forum on this subject... should update it with what I've done.
HurlyBurly51 Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/22/all-n...season-finally/ Hope it's true. Unfortunately I don't see anything actually from CBS that confirms, just some guys magic 8 ball?
Heathcliff Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 a UHF Antenna is all that is needed for HD OTA reception. If you can get analog UHF stations you can get HD.
