Default Rogers HD

Hi

I am a complete a/v novice. I have just moved into a condo that faces north. I am in the process of choosing a nice LCD flat screen HD ready TV. I would like to keep my business with Rogers but I am curious if there is any reason why the signal (ie picture quality) would be any better or worse in this condo that it would be in a house.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm in the same geographical position that you are... GTA facing north in an apartment and I do get rogers (yuk). I feel like I live in a faraday cage, with rebar and radiant heating lines (A Faraday cage is an enclosure designed to exclude electromagnetic field).

So yes there is a difference between a frame constructed house with roof top antenna and my concrete cage.

Money aside, the PQ of rogers standard cable sucks, digital is better, HD service is even better... but OTA HD broadcast is even better for the few stations I get with rabbit ears, which thankfully are the CDN majors.

Go to one of the Rogers centers for a demo of their HD and you'll find during the day most programming is not HD nor widescreen and the PQ is DVD levels.
