Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Thinging of picking up the LG lst3510a,.
For OTA, am I right in thinking all I need for like my HD (CSI etc), abc.
cbs, is a uhf for 30 miles, or should I get the Vhf combo ?

I'm with Cable now, and don't like there atlantic 8000 for Regular TV.

Joe:

You ask a very good question.... Buy a UHF or VHF OTA antenna......

Right now the Green Bay area had ALL it's Digital Tv & HDTV
programing on UHF.... Channels 23, 56, 51, 41, 42, 59, & 21...

These UHF station work best with a Small YAGI or a $25 4 bay bow
tie
UHF antenna... Fleet Farm or Channel Master (3021) have 4
bay
bow tie units... 4 bay bow ties does 40 miles from Wausau
(Rib Mtn) to
Wisconsin Rapids quite well...

Now the question 3 or 4 years down the road.... Will the HDTV
stations
give up their UHF or VHF frequency when Analog TV disappears????
If final FCC channels are 7 thru 49... We then may need combo
Antennas for
(OTA) over the air HDTV reception...

Thanks Much.
Fleet Farm, I'll have to try them, if they don't have what you need, you
don't need it. I guess Lowes carry's them, but we don't have one here.


While I had the Dish (20 Hours) , On a HD Channel They were talking about HD
and more of it, and the TV Nets don't want to, as it would be too costly,
and sounds like they might get by with it if I understood it. The Main
Speaker said: Well then what can we do so you can make more money ? They
said it isn't the money really, it's Bla, Bla, !
