Where are you located? Your cableco probably broadcasts some digital 
stuff. A lot of local stations are starting to get ready to broadcast 
atsc OTA, since they must down-grade any simulcast US stuff.

As for me, I do not *YET* do any HD. Rogers wants too much money. I do 
get digital SD.

I am presently looking into putting up an antenna. I should be able to 
get about 14 channels...but only 5 or 6 will be HD at first.

digital
