Hi folks,
I'll admit it up front: I am a stubborn guy with a 15-yr old Panasonic
TV, picking up reception from a roof-mounted antenna. I have no
interest in getting cable or satellite, and no plans to get an HDTV.
But, I recently read that I can probably pick up digital signals from
the airwaves, and I happen to live in an area where there are plenty of
stations broadcasting digitally.
So, I'm trying to find out what I'd need to pick up digital broadcasts
with as little trouble and expense as possible. Since I don't want to
purchase a new TV (unless absolutely necessary), I imagine I'd need some
kind of set top box, but heck if I can find one on the web, and I know
very little about this.
What equipment would I need, and where can I get it cheaply?
Thanks,
Dave
