 | HD Television/antenna? I have a 50inch Samsung DLP television and am curious about some HD stuff... I remember when I purchased the television the guy at the store told me that I could pick up general HD channels via a antenna that I can purchase at say a radio shack... anyone know anything about this or what I will need to buy to do this, or even heard of anything like this? I would like to pick up some HD channels, like say FOX and stuff, and not have to pay for a monthly box just to waste 90% of it on HD home and gardening through the local provider here. anyway, anyone have any input?

| Here's a decent site I looked at when I was thinking about purchasing an HD antenna. Can find out which stations you'd be able to pick up OTA in your area as well as some information about some brands. TV Antenna Help - Local Metropolitaion Area HDTV Station (Channel) Listing |

+7 Internets | I picked up a $15 antenna when I first got my television and was able to pick up FOX and ABC no problem. Once and a while the image would go out or the sound would be choppy/missing, but not a bad deal for free HD signals.

 | Question about built-in tuners: I just got a new tv (42" panasonic plasma) and it's got a built-in hd tuner. However, it seems that I can only get two HD channels (abc and cw), and it seems like they are only available when my tv is plugged straight into my cable. Once I hook up my digital cable box, it seems like the channels are no longer accessible. Anyone had this problem before? Any workaround?
