Hey most of you is missing the point. Just think why pay for anything you can get for free. As long as you pay they will take your money. But we a consumer control the market. If you don't buy it, (what do you think ESPN TNT and the rest will do? A go out of business B pick a free channel to broadcast or what. HD is a good thing don't waste it. With OTA HD there no reason for network to get paid twice by you and advertisement. We control that my friend. There are some that think paying is a good thing that's your choice. The 200 channels you pay you lucky to watch 10 of them the rest is junk most would not servive on the free market. But for us that understand TV should be free we enjoy OTA TV and not paying the 70 to 100 dollars a month bill, that our choice. You that want to pay for something you can get for free keep on paying your bill. There is quite a few few people that understand what i'am saying and agree with me. But what will cable and sat giants do if people stop paying and learn to enjoy OTA. Will they go away or join the free OTA tv to make money. You control that. Only some of them are worthy. And about the bandwith digital compression you can use all from 7 to 69 channels that,s already aligned. But that can be expanded. 6 is radio band and 5 and below will not be used.

If you want to see you market go to fcc.gov.maps. There you will be able to see the maps coverage of your stations.

When I introduce folks to HD that have cable and satellite they only receive the one local channel and did not realize some station broadcast a second third and fourth broadcast on one channel. Some went out and purchased state of the art tv and never knew of the 50 or more stations crystal clear. They rush out and purchased a outdoor antenna and cable and sat was history.

You that have reception your alignment to the tower. I live 70 miles from all local stations. My reception is 70 to 90%. I have a radio shack deep frenge antenna rated 100 miles with a amp. Only strong winds are a problem. It will take some of you a while to understand HD. I been gathering info on HD since the inception from the fcc in the eightys. Cable and Sat HD picture is second to OTA.
