We have no cable or dish, but receive OTA digital on a set of rabbit ears w/ UHF plate. My friends say the 1080i signal from WITN, 50 miles away, is better than their cable.
All of these signals are UHF. There's one channel broadcasting OTA digital on VHF, and I cannot receive that. Probably the rabbit ears-- anybody got any ideas??
Your friend is right, your OTA from WITN is an uncompressed digital signal. Right now, OTA with is the ONLY way to get uncompressed HD. Every other delivery format compresses the signal, resulting in phenomenon as significant as muted colors, digital video artifacts, lower resolution, and overall less satisfactory experience.
