Latest antenna selector is pretty slick, knows nothing about DVRs {Engadget HD}
Oct 22nd 2009 11:28AM If your antenna locals look better than your cable locals, then your cable co is doing something illegal. Cable companies are not allowed to rate shape or recompress locals in any way. They can do whatever they want with cable channels, but not locals. I regularly check mine with mpeg2repair to make sure my cable co (Mediacom) aren't doing this, and they've been good so far!
But really, if your provider is bit crushing your locals, holler at the FCC, I am sure they'd like to hear about it.

Jun 15th 2009 8:06PM Maybe not the best answer, but in those cases, I am more than okay with pirating an HD copy. I've already paid for the movie (sometimes twice), so why not download it? I know, technically still illegal, but... you get my point :)

May 21st 2009 9:40AM Yes, it will decode ATSC broadcasts just fine. MPEG2 does not require much power for playback. I have been doing it since I had a P4 with 256MB.

Aug 7th 2008 5:50PM Not true. I just signed up one month ago for HD here in Ames, IA and a tech came two days later to hook it up.
Scrubs finally jumps to HD on ABC {Engadget HD}
Jul 18th 2008 6:00AM Yeah, it does suck that they waited until the last season to broadcast in HD. But, I do remember reading somewhere that the entire series was filmed on 16mm, which means there is a possibility of a high-def (although probably 4:3) Blu-ray release.
