My HD Football Dilema

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

Try a zenith silver sensor (sears $39) and aim it at the location. Can
you at least do an attic mount ? If so then buy something bigger and
place it in your attic....

If your hard core I would at least buy extra coax and a silver sensor
and on game day stick it out the window to get the game then put it back
when your done. Footbal in hd is great, 16:9 field is wonderful. The
colors are rich and the display is crisp.

good luck.

That would be nice if DTV gave your three free HD IRDs. What do they
cost $300 each? I don't know where he lives, but I also live 30 miles
north of Hartford and Comcast is the major cable outfit here in
Springfield, MA. I don't know if he's in the area serviced by Charter
Cable. Sounds like he has to at least try the OTA route.
