Ugh, I hate DTAs. It picked the worst day to show a messed up signal, and the wrong channel too (FOX).

Hmm, mine don't seem to act up that much.

In addition to several record highs that now appear within my reach, we might be as warm as Tampa and Orlando later on this week!

At least today's race ended up being postponed, but now I won't be able to catch most of it when it happens tomorrow at noon. :/

Mike, have you tried ClearQAM with your tuners? That's the best way if you have cable to watch local stations in HD if an antenna pixelates a DTA's signal.

My tuner is analog, ClearQAM doesn't work on it. Doesn't it work with LCD TV's though? I can try and see if I can get ClearQAM on that.

It should. I've had people tell me that QAM works on their ATSC TVs.

Most TVs have it built in

So, I bought a Motorola DROID a few weeks ago... I transitioned from a BlackBerry Storm to a Motorola DROID... I have to say, I am impressed with my purchase and am happy I have made it. It runs on the Android 2.0 OS, which is a linux based distro. I rooted the phone, which gives me the ability to run applications in super user mode, which enabled me to play around a bit with my home screen and looks and what not. I replaced the stock keyboard application and stock home screen application, and I'm enjoying it so far... Every day I keep playing around with it, finding new things, and playing around a lot.

Screenshots of my hackery*:





Replaced stock keyboard, which is more powerful than the stock keyboard. It's called "Better Android Keyboard"... go figure. It gives me spelling suggestions, auto complete options, and popup keys. Popup keys is one of the features from the iPhone I like... it helps me to see what letters I'm pressing...



*Snapshots may be a little blurry as they are enlarged, but show up perfectly fine on the phone itself.

I'll probably play around with it some more and hack it around a bit more to my liking. Overall, I am impressed that Motorola developed such a great phone, especially after their shiteous ones.

Hmm, I wonder if the HTCs will look like the Motorola DROID when they get ANDROID 2.0.

It most certainly will not look like those screenshot images. I can guarantee you that.

I recently bought a Droid... I love it as well. I'm anxiously awaiting Android 2.1

@ Alex, yup can't wait for it but I'll be taking a break from my computer due to more personal issues () so I won't be on for around 2 weeks. 82 on Saturday for teh shore!
@ Jesse, slick looking phone! Does AIM and FB come preinstalled or did you have to install the applications onto your droid?
