That's the way to do it. The heck with paying the cable company for what you can get for free.

When I put my antenna up, I can get maybe three or four HD channels at most.

WPMT FOX 43
WGAL NBC 8
WLYH CW 15

And sometimes some Baltimore-based stations.

I'll have to try again sometime with a different antenna.

Personally, I think cable companies should charge one flat rate for HD channels. Like $19.99 for all HD channels... because with most companies, you have to pay to rent the HD box (~$10) in most areas) + the HD service (~$20)... but that will only get you local channels, and TNT, AE, USA, etc. You have to be subscribed to the SD movie channels and sports channels to get them, which is bull crap IMO. You're already dishing them $30+ a month, can't the pony up the few sport and movie channels the offer in HD?  :furious:

If you were to have an HDTV with a built-in ATSC and QAM tuner, would you still need a cable box from the cable company to get HD channels through cable?

I can answer that...we just got an HDTV with the digital QAM package thingy.  If you just plug it in, you get some bonus channels (like on ours, we get some stuff from the Notre Dame cable system, some extra radar images, and NBA TV) and it tunes the OTA stuff in clear.  donno about if it takes a CableCard or not...

And regarding OTA reception...the only stuff I watch in HD is House, Fox baseball, the Nascar races, the Thursday programming on NBC, and when they do TPIR in HD...no reason for the extra stuff.  TWC | HD on the other hand....  :wub:

I'll post the only one I watch:

219 - TBSHD

I will watch TWCHD when it comes out, but other than that, I don't personally watch any other HD channels.

No HD channels here. Neither my cable box or TV is capable of showing HD.
