Anyone Watching Hi Def Cable TV on a Projector?

Living in Los Angeles, you probably have the ability to receive OTA (off the air) signals, assuming you have a 'clear sight' (unobstructed) shot at the transmitting tower. This is still the best source for HD Television.

the second best source is Dish Network as they are using Mpeg4 technology.

No matter what, go ahead and get the HD signals any way you can. Monday Night Football and Discovery Channel (also, HDTV) are reasons enough.

Go to www.antennanet.org and follow the prompts for the kind of antenna you might need for your particular home's location. Also, they will give you compass headings to point the antenna.

Okay, Mitch...here(hear) it comes: Nope: Your landlord, Condo Assn., City, county or even State has NO SAY(!). FCC has mandatated that all must have equal access to all(!) signal sources. This is a Federal law: If you want it, you can get it.

FCC over rules all (except in cases of Historic Presevation buildings...):okay. let's say you live at the base of a mountain with the most meanist of Condo-type rules. No antennas. Nope. you can erect a 40+ foot antenna and, being Federal rules, they can't say no....assuming there are no alternatives. If you could have gotten the same signal from an antenna mounted to a 4x4 coming out of a concrete-filed bucket, then you could not use the above-mentioned antenna.

Of course, the problem is this: you don't live in a rent-controlled City so, once you 'mention' your rights, you get the 30-day notice and you are SOL.

Bummer.

Many Congrats!

Really, it is not about the hassle(sp?), but more on the results.

Continue to be some of the good people.

Enjoy.
