T&T: HDTV antenna

[Al Thomason]

Keep in mind that not all DTV / HDTV signals are on UHF; depending on your 
location you will find UHF and/or VHF space being used.

You can check out your own area here:

It will show what is being used in your area, keep in mind that some 
stations will change in Feb (ala some will move their current temp DTV from 
UHF to VHF..)  So, watch for that.


And if you intend to travel, best to get a UHF / VHF antenna.

Also, this is just Plain Old UHF / VHF, nothing special needed for HDTV! 
Just get a good antenna.  Digital TV receivers do tend to degrade poorly on 
weak signals (ala dropped frames, dropped sound) vs. 'old' Analog TV where 
it jsut gets fuzzier and fuzzier until you can not take it any more.  So, in 
that way, Digitial TV does 'require' a better antenna system.
