i just bought an awesome LCD TV. Sony Bravia, 46" LCD… beautiful.
I get the DirecTV guy out there to install my dish and he says “no way you can get HD signals with those trees where they are.” It’s a shame really since i;ve been a customer of theirs for 11 years and have really liked the service. He told me I can try Dish Network but he thiks the trees would be a problem there too.
So I check out my last option. Comcast.
For less channels than I have today, I would have the pleasure of paying $30 more a month after my introductory rate runs out. Even the introductory rate is $10 more than I pay now. With adding the HD channels and recieved I’m pushing up to almost $100 a month.
I am pretty close to saying “Screw HDTV” and just sticking with what I have.
Over the Air won;t work because of my hills and trees, unless I gte one of those big old school powered antennae installed.
