hdtv antenna        

Before I bought my HDTV antenna I did a lot of research on the internet like I stated on my home page.

After I decided to develope this site I went back and tried to remember where I got all my info at and gather it here. If I come up with other interesting stuff I'll post it here!

Below are some facts I think you'll all find VERY VERY interesting!!!

• Did you know that if you opt to receive your local HD channels through your Dish or cable company like Directv or Dish Network your not only paying on average $10/month more... you are loosing quality of your picture! When digital signals are sent to your TV via your Dish or cable company they are in a "compressed" state. The reason being is that a "true" HD signal in it's purest form has too large a bandwidth for cable or satellite companies to handle. So "they" compress the signal to accomodate all the other channels they offer you through their service! To make things worse, everytime your provider adds channels to your service in the future, they will have to compress your local digital signals a little everytime!!! So the problem just gets worse!             I bet a lot of you didn't know that!!!

• Does your subdivision rules state that you cant have a hdtv antenna on your roof? Shove this in their face! In 1996, the FCC affirmed the right of "you" the homeowner to place an antenna on your property you own or control!... Here's what you do!
  Go to http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/otard.html. and print it out and take it to your next homeowners association meeting! If you live in a condo or apartment, you also have the right!
