HDTV Over The Air?


I am thinking about getting a HDTV tuner to go with my Sony "HD Ready" CRT TV. Does anyone have experience they would like to share regarding tuner brands, antenna problems, etc?

Thanks,

Dave

If you are into satelite tv. the latest boxes from Direct and Dish network have built in HD tuners with some of their units. That way, the one unit does both which obviously saves having an extra box. I use a HD reciever from Samsung. SIR-t151 I believe. They have made several models and they work quite well. I purchased an antenna from Radio shack for about $25.00
plus the hardware and put it on my roof. I get every channel thats out there in So. Cal. which is about 30 channels with fantastic clarity on my 90" diagonal front projector screen. I have also seen great reception from an antenna placed in the attic if you want nothing showing on the outside. It is definately worth it. I tried the indoor antennas and they didn't work for me in my location. As was said earlier, you need to have unobstructed views in the direction of the broadcasting towers.
